Vikings lead Giants 14-3 at halftime

Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold started his NFL career playing home games at MetLife Stadium, and now that he’s returning to his familiar stomping grounds, he’s feeling right at home.

Darnold finished the first half 13 of 14 for 151 yards and a touchdown, and the Vikings led the Giants 14-3 after 30 minutes of play. Darnold’s only incomplete pass came just before halftime, and his touchdown came on a three-yard toss to Justin Jefferson.

Jefferson had a 44-yard catch to set up that score and he has three catches for 50 yards in his first game since signing his new contract this offseason. Jordan Addison also has three catches and Aaron Jones ran for a touchdown in his Vikings debut.

Early results confirm Vikings linebacker Ivan Pace’s vision believe that the Giants weren’t up to the task of beating his team, but Pace did his best to help the Giants by drawing a personal foul for hitting a Giants player in the head during a post-play scrum. The Giants offense continued their trend of not being able to do much with the ball, however, and the Vikings will open the second half with a chance to extend their lead.
