Giants Defense Shines, But Offense Falters in Narrow Loss
22 Dec
Summary
- Giants defense scored a touchdown but couldn't secure the win.
- Quarterback Jaxson Dart had a career-low passing yards game.
- The team's offense achieved its lowest yardage output this season.
The New York Giants continued their difficult season, narrowly losing to the Minnesota Vikings with a final score of 16-13. This defeat marks the Giants' 11th loss in their last 13 games, bringing their season record to 2-13. While the defense showcased impressive play, including a scoop-and-score touchdown and four sacks, the offense remained stagnant, unable to generate consistent scoring opportunities.
Quarterback Jaxson Dart experienced a challenging outing, completing only seven passes for 33 yards on 13 attempts. This performance marked a career first for Dart, as he finished a game without a touchdown pass or surpassing 100 passing yards. The Giants' offense as a whole was stifled by the Vikings' defense, accumulating only 141 total yards, their lowest output of the season, with the majority of yardage coming from the ground game.
The defensive unit, though spirited, allowed over 100 rushing yards and struggled with critical third-down conversions. Brian Burns continued his strong pass-rushing season with multiple sacks. Despite a late opportunity to drive for a game-winning score, the Giants' offense faltered, ending their hopes of a comeback. The team now looks ahead to an upcoming road game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
