The New York Giants fell to 2-13 on Sunday with a 16-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. It was New York\u2019s ninth straight loss and kept the Giants in control of the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n
A Will Reichard 30-yard field goal with 4:15 to play gave Minnesota their winning points. Two penalties on Dexter Lawrence, a defensive holding and a neutral zone infraction, contributed to a 14-play, 57-yard scoring drive. A beautiful toe-dragging 22-yard catch by Justin Jefferson on a third-and-17 was the key play.<\/p>\n
The Giants faced fourth-and-3 at their own 47-yard line as they tried to drive for a game-tying or winning score. Jaxson Dart was sacked by Minnesota\u2019s Andrew Van Ginkel, turning the ball over on downs and ending the Giants final chance.<\/p>\n
The Vikings held a 13-10 lead at the half.<\/p>\n
The Giants got a huge momentum shift at the end of the half with Minnesota looking set to go to the break with a 13-3 lead. Tyler Nubin scored on a 27-yard fumble recovery following a sack\/fumble by Brian Burns on J.J. McCarthy to make the score 13-10 with :17 left in the half.<\/p>\n
A 12-yard J.J. McCarthy run and two Reichard field goals accounted for Minnesota\u2019s points. Ben Sauls kicked the first field goal of his NFL career, a 27-yarder, for New York.<\/p>\n
McCarthy\u2019s touchdown came after a Byron Murphy interception on a pass that caromed through the hands of Giants tight end Theo Johnson and set the Vikings up at the Giants\u2019 16-yard line.<\/p>\n
The Giants ran the ball 15 straight times at one point. Dart completed just 1 of 5 passes for 2 yards and an interception in the first two quarters.<\/p>\n
New York lost a touchdown when Jevon Holland returned an interception 96 yards for a Pick 6, but Abdul Carter was called for being offsides. Minnesota converted than into a field goal, a 10-point first-half swing.<\/p>\n
