Vikings edge Giants in close preseason opener

Summary

The Minnesota Vikings secured a narrow 13-10 victory against the New York Giants in their preseason opener at MetLife Stadium on August 15, 2026. A critical element in the game was Minnesota's defense, which forced two turnovers without committing any. Myles Price was a standout for the Vikings, catching the only touchdown of the game late in the third quarter. Quarterback Carson Wentz completed 9 of 14 passes for 81 yards, while Kyler Murray had a brief showing before the injury to Jamal Adams overshadowed the win, as he suffered a serious knee injury in the second quarter. The Vikings will look to build on this performance in practices next week as they prepare for the regular season.
