Giants fall to Vikings: Winners, losers and those in between

The New York Giants fell to the Vikings, 27-24, in Week 16 and here’s a look at our winners and losers (and those in between) from the game.

The New York Giants came into their Week 16 game against the Minnesota Vikings seeking a win and a possible playoff berth.

A high-scoring game was expected with the over/under hovering around 48 at kickoff. That number was eclipsed but not until the final seconds when Minnesota kicker Greg Joseph nailed a 61-yard field goal — a franchise record.

The final: Vikings 27, Giants 24. The playoffs will have to wait for Big Blue.

Here are some winners, losers, and in-betweens from the loss.

The New York Giants fell to the Minnesota Vikings, 27-24, in Minneapolis on Saturday afternoon.

In a hard-fought game by both sides, New York lost in the final seconds to a record-breaking 61-yard field goal by Greg Joseph. This loss brings New York to 8-6-1 but with losses throughout the NFC, their playoff hopes are still very much alive.

There were many players who performed well in this game but one unsung hero these past few weeks has been Isaiah Hodgins. Coming into Week 16, Hodgins had been having a hot streak with two touchdowns in the last three games.

Against the Vikings, the former practice squad receiver had the best game of his career with eight catches for 89 yards and a touchdown.

Hodgins was a reliable target for Daniel Jones all day in a game where Jones was consistently airing out the ball. The Giants’ receiving core is thin and the continued improvement from Hodgins will be integral for a potential playoff run.

Giants fail to deliver early Christmas gift as they fall to Vikings, 27-24

The New York Giants surrendered 17 fourth-quarter points and fell to the Minnesota Vikings, 27-24, failing to punch their playoff ticket.

The New York Giants entered a Week 16 game against the Minnesota Vikings with an opportunity to secure their first playoff berth since 2016.

All they had to do was upset the Vikings and get a little help around the league. And while that help came, the Giants failed to do their part.

Turnovers, penalties and drops cost the Giants on several offensive drives, while the defense came up just short on several potential interceptions of their own. That combination ultimately spelled disaster and was more than New York could overcome.

Still, New York pushed the game to the limits and brought it all the way down to the final moments. They were undone with a last-second 61-yard field goal.

With the loss, the Giants fall to 8-6-1 on the season. They will have another chance to punch their playoff ticket next Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.
