The NFL record streak without allowing a pass touchdown, since the 1970 merger, is seven games. The Vikings can tie that record on Thursday against the Lions, but they'll have to snap Jared Goff's 21-game streak with a touchdown pass in order to do so.

Undrafted rookie Max Brosmer, who threw four interceptions in his only career start, played the entire second half for the injured J.J. McCarthy. He led the game-winning 14-play, 57-yard drive. He passed for 52 yards — 19 more than Dart.

After their flight had to turn around for mechanical issues, the Minnesota Vikings finally arrived in New Jersey late Saturday for their Sunday afternoon game against the New York Giants.

J.J. McCarthy ran for a touchdown before leaving with an injury to his throwing hand, but backup Max Brosmer helped the Vikings top the Giants 16-13 on Sunday.

If that was the last play of McCarthy's season, the strip sack marked a fitting coda to a debut campaign that's been marred by poor play and injuries.

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.

Vikings center Ryan Kelly was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Giants with a concussion. That's always concerning for any player, but particularly so with Kelly. This is now his third concussion of the 2025 season and the sixth documented one of his NFL career.

The Vikings began Sunday’s game against the Giants without four starters because of injuries, then lost two more and a top running back before halftime.
