The New York Giants lost 13-10 to the Minnesota Vikings in their preseason opener on August 15, 2026. Despite a few notable plays, including a 40-yard gain by Devin Singletary, the offense experienced difficulties, particularly against a challenging defensive scheme. Starting quarterback Jaxson Dart faced pressure and injury, while veteran Odell Beckham Jr. had limited targets. The Giants' defense lacked key player Dexter Lawrence, making their performance questionable. The team must address these issues in their upcoming exercises.
