EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold is celebrating his return to the NFL's starting ranks Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

Darnold's latest: a 21-yard dart to receiver Jalen Nailor for his second touchdown pass of the game, giving the Vikings a 21-3 lead early in the third quarter over the New York Giants.

The play started with receiver Justin Jefferson in the backfield, and he later motioned into the flat. With the Giants focused on Jefferson, Darnold faked to him and then found Nailor wide open down the right sideline.
