Game Notes:
"They say Eli Manning can't play in cold weather. Well it wasn't all that cold at the stadium today except for the cold stares of disbelief from the fans from what they were seeing on the field. It was as if someone spiked the Giants Gatorade. They didn't seem like the team you're used to seeing and they didn't seem to recognize themselves or where they should be on the field. Sometimes it looked like Manning was passing to invisible receivers and when he did hit someone with a pass they couldn't hang onto it. Some of his passes ended up in the hands of the Vikings defenders. They converted all Manning's interceptions into touchdowns and believe me not too many people were around to see the final score, Vikings 41-17. Who knows, maybe it was colder than I thought."

Game Notes:
"Somebody quick! Call a challenge timeout. Refs - check the Vikings IDs. That can't be the worst ranked pass defense playing against our team. In fact, check the Giants ID's too. That can't really be them playing so lousy!! In the past it sometimes looked like maybe the Giants offense didn't know what they were doing on the field. This time there was no doubt. At the half, Eli Manning had completed just 6 of his 20 passes for 92 yards, and he had thrown 2 interceptions. They were 2 of 8 on third downs and when they pushed the issue, didn't make it on their only fourth down try.
Special teams set the tone for this game when Lawrence Tynes kicked the opening kickoff out of bounds to let Minnesota start at their own 40 yard line. Not to be out done, the defense let Tarvaris Jackson, leading the worst passing defense in the league, throw a touchdown pass on his second snap. In contrast to Manning, at the half Jackson had completed 6 of his 8 passes for 110 yards and 1 touchdown.
Things didn't get much better in the second half for the Giants. Manning did rack up some yards and one touchdown, but he finished with four interceptions. How bad was this game? Eli's brother Peyton was in the stands wearing sunglasses so no one would realize he was related to anyone on the field."

Notes:

This was the first time in Giants history that an opposing team scored 3 touchdowns on interception returns.

Viking’s 41 points were the most allowed by the Giants at home since the Redskins 50 points more than eight years ago.

Vikings set a team single-game record for interception returns for touchdowns with 3.
The NFL record for interceptions returns for touchdowns is 4.

The only other time Manning has thrown 4 interceptions was also against the Vikings.

Vikings won back-to-back games for the first time this season.
