What You Don't Know About The Vikings/Giants Game

- The last time the Vikings lost in New York against the Giants was in 2001. I don’t think Vikings fans need a refresher to know what game that was since the amount of points the Vikings scored in that game equals the amount of wins the Giants have this season (zero).

- Eli Manning’s 15 interceptions through 6 games this season already equals his interception total in 2012 when he played 16 games.

- The combined winning percentage of 9% through 6 weeks is the lowest between two teams in Monday Night Football’s 44 year history.

- With safety Harrison Smith out this game due to injury, the Vikings will have zero defensive backs on the field that have had in interception this season.

- 3.9 percent of Eli Manning’s pass attempts have been thrown for touchdowns this year. That percentage is his lowest since his rookie season (3%) and well below his career 4.7 percentage.

- In two games at MetLife Stadium (one against the Jets and one against the Giants), new Vikings starting quarterback Josh Freeman is 0-2 and has an average QB rating of 72.4 (30/59 3 TDs, 3 INTs).

- A Vikings team coached by Leslie Frazier has a combined record of 0-5 in games that are one or two weeks after the team’s bye week. The Vikings have averaged 12.4 PPG, 297 YPG, and 2.6 turnovers in those 5 games. While Vikings opponents have averaged 31.6 PPG, 351 PPG, and 1 turnover during that 5 game span.

- Leslie Frazier has NEVER coached a Vikings team to victory on Monday Night Football (he has won on a Tuesday though).
