Which members of the Minnesota Vikings did the most on offense and defense to be named the MVPs from Week 5 against the New York Giants?

After last week’s self-destructive game against the Bears, the Minnesota Vikings fared much better in Week 5 against the New York Giants, getting a big win on the road with a final score of 28-10.

This moves Minnesota to a 3-2 record on the season but the team remains in the cellar of the NFC North. This division will be a huge challenge for the Vikings since there are so many good teams there, but that doesn’t mean all hope is lost.

In fact, the way the Vikings played against the Giants gives a lot of hope that the purple and gold can climb back up the standing and hopefully return to the postseason after missing the playoffs last season.

But, before looking too far ahead at the rest of the schedule for the Minnesota Vikings, let’s take a look back at the game against the Giants and see who deserves to be called the MVP from offense and defense.
