The crowd needs to be LOUD on defense
Sometimes, players, coaches, or the media helps opposing teams out. They give out bulletin board material to motivate a team even more than usual. Eli Manning may have thrown down a gauntlet to Minnesota Vikings fans that he could end up regretting.
U.S. Bank Stadium is built to be loud. When the crowd is rowdy, it can be almost impossible to hear anything on the field of play. However, Eli Manning is headed into the Monday Night Football game thinking that the noise won’t be a big factor during the game.

But he’s never played at U.S. Bank Stadium. The place should be packed with purple and this statement alone should make fans in Minnesota want to be so loud that Eli Manning can’t even hear himself think on the field.
This is a call, Vikings fans. Make his night miserable and teach him that U.S. Bank Stadium and Vikings fans aren’t just something to brush off.
