Vikings @ Giants
Vikings get yet another less-than-stellar defense this week. Giants have as much talent on their front as anyone, with Dexter Lawrence in the middle and Burns and Carter outside, but their achilles is stopping the run. They rank bottom five in that category. I look for the Vikings to get back to the ground in this one.
My fantasy QB Jaxon Dart has had a surprisingly good year and he's going to frustrate the hell out of us when he runs the ball, but this is exactly the kind of QB Flores typically confuses. Giants are a sneaky team. They beat the Chargers, played the Broncos to a 1-point finish and had one-score losses to the Lions, Packers and Bears, so this is no gimme. Weather doesn't look like it will be a factor at 50 degrees and sunny.

What the hell was that? Getting pulled?
An injury is what it is. He is going to get checked in the locker room
#Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy was in significant pain when trainers checked his hand after this play. Headed off the field early. Could be Max Brosmer time again for Minnesota. pic.twitter.com/smfQiWlvLF

He’s OUT. Wow man.
I’m a huge believer in his talent but if he’s made of glass what is the team supposed to do. Woof
JJM can’t stay on the field. He’s reasonably talented but gets injured every few games. We’re going to need a new plan at QB.

How did Brett Favre play every snap for like 30 years. How

lol JJM can’t go 30 days.
I guess the good thing is the Giants have no chance of scoring on our defense, so unless we turn the ball over or give something up on special teams, we should be able to win even with Brosmer

Play where he may have injured right hand
Worry for metacarpal fracture

Defense will probably have to win this game for us...and "Will the "Thrill"...

Just take the sack kid what are you doing. Just take a knee KO. The Vikings in a nutshell.
The Giants are trying to tank and we’re trying not to let them.
This is awful football. Giants are just total dogshit
FINAL: Vikings 16, Giants 13

The Vikings have won a third straight game and are 7-8 on the season. The defense was awesome. But the story of the day is that J.J. McCarthy suffered his fourth injury in two NFL seasons and only played one half.
How's everyone feeling?

We'll all be waiting to hear on this...Is he done for the season or can he play the last 2 games?
Not sure with Metacarpal?
There is a lot of evaluating to do on this kid and his constantly getting injured is definitely worrisome on top of it.
I mean, can they really go into 26 with JJM cemented as Qb1? Especially if he doesnt play the rest of the year?
I cant answer that with certainty today
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

They were today. But the Vikings defense had a lot to do with that. 6th game without a passing TD given up. Jaxon Dart had 283 yards and 4 TDs in Denver. 200 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs against 49ers. 242 yards, 2 TDs against the Bears. Passer rating over 90 in all three games.
Today: 33 yards, 0 TDs, 1 INT, 5 sacks for a passer rating of 27.3. Vikings needs to give Brian Flores a fat new contract.
