EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Sam Darnold threw two touchdowns in a highly efficient performance and linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel scored on a spectacular one-handed 10-yard interception return to lead the Minnesota Vikings to an easy 28-6 victory over the New York Giants. Darnold had touchdown passes of 3 yards to Justin Jefferson and 21 to Jalen Nailor. He also had a 22-yard pass to tight end Josh Oliver to help set up Aaron Jones' 3-yard TD run. Van Ginkel's TD was the final score. Graham Gano hit two field goals for the Giants in a very disappointing performance to open their 100th season.
