NY Giants, Jaxson Dart have tough task vs. Minnesota Vikings defense

NY Giants, Jaxson Dart have tough task vs. Minnesota Vikings defense

The 2-12 New York Giants host the 6-8 Minnesota Vikings, who are on a two-game winning streak this Sunday. Kevin O’Connell’s team defeated the Cowboys 34-26 in primetime last week and shut out the Commanders 31-0 in Week 14; the win over Washington ended a four-game losing streak. Despite the recent hot streak, the Vikings are eliminated from playoff contention. The Vikings are 2.5-point favorites.

Vikings’ defense

Brian Flores is revered for his aggressive and unpredictable defense. The Vikings are 13th in points allowed per game (21.9); they’re ninth in yards allowed per game (307.9). The Vikings surrender yards...

NY Giants head-coaching search: How desirable is the job?

NY Giants head-coaching search: How desirable is the job?

The New York Giants want to believe their head-coaching opening is a desirable one that any top candidate in the upcoming hiring cycle will have interest in.

Remember what GM Joe Schoen, who may or may not keep his job, said a few weeks ago? He said that head coach of the Giants “will be an attractive job for many coaches,” and that “The calls we’ve gotten, I think we’re going to be able to fill the job.”

ESPN’s Bill Barnwell doesn’t seem convinced that candidates will be lining up for the job quite the way the Giants envision. In...

NY Giants roster move: Another tight end added to practice squad

NY Giants roster move: Another tight end added to practice squad

The New York Giants continued on Wednesday to stockpile tight ends on their practice squad, adding four-year veteran Tanner Conner. The 27-year-old was cut this week by the Miami Dolphins.

In recent weeks, the Giants have added three tight ends to their practice squad — Conner, Zach Davidson, and Maximilian Mang.

Conner played in 33 games over four seasons for Miami. This was actually his most productive season, as he caught nine passes for 91 yards in nine games. Conner, 6-foot-3, 237 pounds, has 12 career receptions.

The Giants have three tight ends — Theo Johnson, Daniel Bellinger, and Chris...

Fantasy Football 2025: Week 16 preview – Start/sit and more

Welcome to Week 16, and Round 2 of the Fantasy Football Playoffs!

If you’re still sniffing a championship after this past weekend, you probably didn’t have the misfortune of going up against Trevor Lawrence, who had six total TDs and scored the most fantasy points of any player this entire season, or Kyle Freaking Pitts (his new name), who scored 20% of his career TDs and around 7% of his career fantasy points in one game (an 11-166-3 eruption) this past Thursday night. Sometimes, you can’t see the car that’s about to run you over.

NY Giants injury news: Evan Neal sidelined after one day with back issue

NY Giants injury news: Evan Neal sidelined after one day with back issue

Evan Neal’s return to the New York Giants lasted just one day before the No. 7 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft was back on the sidelines.

Neal, who has not played a snap this season and spent several weeks on Injured Reserve with an apparent hamstring injury, returned to practice on Wednesday. Interim head coach Mike Kafka said Neal had “a little bit of soreness in his back.”

Drafted to be the Giants’ right tackle, Neal was converted to guard this season. He could not beat out Greg Van Roten for a starting job, and also could not...

NFL Week 16 picks, predictions: NY Giants running out of chances for a win

The New York Giants are 2-12 and have lost eight straight games. Will they end that losing streak this weekend against the Minnesota Vikings. Find out what the Big Blue View staff thinks about that and the rest of the NFL Week 16 action in this week’s picks and predictions.

Chris Pflum

Another game which the Giants could, and perhaps should, win. In fact, I probably would have picked them without reservation a couple weeks ago, when J.J. McCarthy was playing some of the worst football in the NFL. In Week 16, however, he seems to have found his...

NY Giants must control J.J. McCarthy, surging Minnesota Vikings offense

The New York Giants 2025 season is winding down, with just three more games before we get to the offseason.

The Giants will face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 16, as the two struggling teams try to end on a positive note. The Vikings are currently 6-8 on the season and riding a 2-game winning streak after beating the Washington Commanders and Dallas Cowboys.

The Vikings were fielding one of the NFL’s worst offenses prior to Week 14, scoring 19, 17, 6, and 0 points from Week 10 to Week 13. Over the last two weeks, however, they’ve scored 31...
