Minnesota Vikings 41, New York Giants 17
The Giants should be ashamed of themselves with the way they played last Sunday at home. Eli Manning completed only 21 of 49 passes for 273 yards with 1 TD pass and 4 interceptions. Three of the interceptions were returned for TDs by the Vikings. Reuben Droghns carried most of the load in the running game for the Giants as he carried the ball 15 times for 46 yards (3.1 ypc) with a TD run. Rookie Ahmad Bradshaw pitched in with 4 carries for 29 yards (7.3 ypc). Plaxico Burress had a solid game to lead the way in the passing game with 7 catches for 93 yards (13.3 avg) with 1 TD grab. Amani Toomer had a solid game with 4 catches for 83 yards (20.8 avg) and Jeremy Shockey caught 4 passes for 44 yards (11.0 avg) to help out in the passing game. The Giants finished up with 75 yards rushing on 19 carries (3.9 ypc) and they also completed 21 of 49 passes for 234 yards.
The defense did not play as bad as the final score shows. DT Fred Robbins (8 tackles, 1.5 sacks) and DE Osi Umenyiora (6 tackles, 2 sacks) both had good games. The Vikings finished up with 127 yards rushing on 39 carries (3.3 ypc) and they also completed 10 of 12 passes for 124 yards.
