Kudos and Wet Willies from Giants-Vikings: Malachi Fields, Jack Kelly shine in loss
Let’s look at who played well and who did not for the Giants in Saturday’s loss to the Vikings.
Kudos to rookie wide receiver Malachi Fields as he had a 15-yard touchdown catch from scrambling quarterback Jaxson Dart. Fields showcased his potential as a weapon for the Giants with his size, athleticism, and strong hands. However, the Giants' first-half run defense struggled, allowing Minnesota to gain 5.2 yards per carry. GM Joe Schoen will likely need to look for upgrades, particularly at the backup nose tackle spot.
Quarterback Jaxson Dart had an impressive performance, throwing a touchdown pass to Fields and finding his new favorite target, Isaiah Likely, for two first downs. However, he took two sacks, one which appeared to be his fault.
