How to Watch Vikings vs. Giants, NFL Live Stream, Schedule, TV Channel, Start Time

The Minnesota Vikings face-off with the New York Giants Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium with identical 2-2 records. The Vikings are winners of the last two meetings, including a 49-17 home win in 2015 and a 24-10 home victory in 2016. Can Minnesota’s offense come alive in Week 5 or will the Giants win their third straight game?

Vikings vs. Giants

To say the Vikings are relying on running back Dalvin Cook this season is an understatement. Minnesota is 2-2 on the year, including a 16-6 loss to the Raiders last weekend. Cook is second in the NFL with 410 rushing yards and the team ranks third with an average of 155.2 YPG, but teams are keying in on stopping the run. Oakland limited Cook to just 35 yards on the ground. Kirk Cousins’ inability to throw the deep pass to Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs has been frustrating to the team. Diggs has been held to under 50 yards in the first three games and had 91 last week, with most coming in the second half. Diggs has not been coy about the situation after signing a five-year, $72 million extension in 2018. 

Defensively, the Vikings kept the Bears run game in check. Danielle Hunter and Everson Griffen provided pressure on Bears quarterback Chase Daniel throughout the game. The pair combined for eight tackles, while Eric Kendrics led the way with 11 total tackles. As a unit, the defense needs to improve on its pass defense and will need to contain a versatile Daniel Jones at quarterback when the team plays in New York this weekend.

After starting the season 0-2, the New York Giants have rattled off back-to-back wins over the Buccaneers and most recently a 24-3 thumping the Redskins. New York recovered a turnover on the third play of the game and the offense scored on its first possession. Daniel Jones, in his second career start in the NFL, completed 23 of 31 passes for 225 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Wayne Gallman, filling in for the injured Saquon Barkley, proved his worth with 63 yards rushing and one touchdown, in addition to 55 yards receiving and another score.

 Washington’s offense is pretty bad, but the Giants defense did well enough to only allow three points in the game. Dwayne Haskins threw for 107 yards and was picked off three times. Ryan Connelly recorded five tackles, a sack, and one interception, while Janoris Jenkins added four tackles and a pair of picks. Jabril Peppers also had four tackles and an interception, which he returned 32 yards for a touchdown. David Mayo led all Giants with eight tackles.
