Match context New York Giants vs Minnesota Vikings The Vikings’ QB J.J. McCarthy did his job last week, slicing up one of the league’s worst secondaries in a 34–26 win over Dallas. The setting stays hugely in his favour here — he now faces a Giants defence ranked fourth-worst by DVOA and simply last against…
