The Minnesota Vikings kicked off their season with a dominating victory against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. Despite the Giants taking an early 3-0 lead, the Vikings quickly took control of the game and cruised to a 28-6 win.
Giants quarterback Daniel Jones struggled throughout the game, throwing a pick-six and completing only 22 of his 42 passes. The home crowd at MetLife Stadium expressed their frustration with booing as Jones failed to spark a comeback.
The Vikings defense, led by edge rusher Jonathan Greenard, showed no mercy towards Jones. Greenard even expressed some sympathy for the struggling quarterback, admitting that the defense started to feel a “little bit bad for him” as they continued to shut down the Giants offense.
“We kind of started to feel a little bit bad for him as we’re still just completely just taking away everything he wants to do,” Greenard said on KFAN. “Hey, it’s good to be on the other side of it, and it’s our job to not be on that side of it.”
With the victory secured, the Vikings can now shift their focus to the rest of the season. While they won’t have to face Jones again, the Giants are left wondering how long they can continue to rely on him as their starting quarterback. Week One made it clear that a change may be necessary if they hope to see different results moving forward.
Overall, the Vikings’ impressive performance in their season opener has set the tone for what promises to be an exciting season ahead. Stay tuned for more thrilling football action as the Vikings aim to continue their winning ways.
