It was 14 degrees at kickoff in Minnesota, and the offenses involved reflected that.

The Vikings took the first lead of the game, with a field goal just before the end of the first quarter for a 3-0 lead over the Giants.

Teddy Bridgewater’s not exactly cooking, but the Vikings didn’t get to the verge of the playoffs by being a dynamic offensive team.

Meanwhile, the Giants appear to be missing suspended wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

Quarterback Eli Manning hasn’t completed a pass yet, starting 0-for-4 with an interception, as the Giants look like a team with nothing to play for. Which is what they are.
