New York Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka defended his vanilla Week 16 gameplan despite a dreadful offensive performance.

Brosmer led a go-ahead scoring drive in the fourth quarter that ended with Will Reichard making a 30-yard field goal. The rookie completed 7 of 9 passes for 52 yards in his fourth NFL appearance and first since throwing four interceptions Nov. 30 in a 26-0 loss at Seattle.

The Vikings were headed to New Jersey but had to turn around when their plane experienced mechanical issues that required a return to the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport.

New York Giants fans mocked the organization and cheered on the "tank' after a sloppy Week 16 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

The Vikings converted that turnover into the game’s first touchdown, as McCarthy scrambled to his right on third down, found nothing open, and took it into the end zone himself for a 12-yard score to put the Vikings ahead 13-3 at the two-minute warning.

Their team plane experienced mechanical issues that required turning around shortly after departing Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, according to a team spokesperson. The Vikings were expected to arrive in Newark later Saturday night after boarding a second plane, the spokesperson said.

The Minnesota Vikings will be delayed getting to New Jersey for Sunday's game against the New York Giants after the team's plane was forced to turn back. The Vikings confirmed in a statement Saturday that the team plane "experienced mechanical issues" shortly after departing that forced it to return to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
