Darnold, who signed as a free agent after being a backup in San Francisco last season, was 19 of 24 for 208 yards and one interception that came on a deflected pass.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Sam Darnold threw two touchdown passes in a highly efficient performance and Andrew Van Ginkel scored on a spectacular one-handed 10-yard interception return to lead the Minnesota Vikings to an easy 28-6 victory over the woeful New York Giants on Sunday.
Darnold, who played his home games at MetLife Stadium for three seasons after being taken No. 3 overall by the Jets in 2018, had touchdown passes of 3 yards to Justin Jefferson and 21 to Jalen Nailor in his Vikings debut.
Darnold also had a 22-yard pass to Josh Oliver to help set up Aaron Jones’ 3-yard TD run that put Minnesota ahead 7-3 late in the first quarter and got Kevin O’Connell’s team off to a good start as it looked to rebound from a disappointing 7-10 season.
Van Ginkel’s left-handed grab of Daniel Jones’ swing pass deep in his own territory late in the third quarter put an exclamation point on a solid defensive performance by Brian Flores’ unit and had Giants fans booing loudly as they headed to the exits down 28-6.

RELATED: What is the new dynamic kickoff?
Jefferson had four catches for 59 yards, with his TD coming on a quick slant on a fourth-down pass. It capped a 99-yard drive that he ignited with a 44-yard catch.
Graham Gano kicked field goals of 23 and 50 yards for the Giants, who played just like the team that posted a 6-11 record last season.
Jones, who was coming off major knee surgery, did not play well and got little help from either his new revamped offensive line or his receivers. First-round draft pick Malik Nabers had five receptions for 66 yards, including two for 25 yards.
Jones finished 22 of 42 for 186 yards and two interceptions.
Giants co-owner and chief executive John Mara said after last season he wanted to see significant progress this year. But New York did little on offense with coach Brian Daboll taking over the play calling and the Giants got little pressure on Darnold despite acquiring edge rusher Brian Burns from Carolina in the offseason.

Officers said a 35-year-old man struck a power pole and two parked cars after fleeing police early on Sunday morning.
WEST ST PAUL, Minn. — A man was killed in a crash early Sunday morning after fleeing police in West St. Paul.
Officials said a woman called to report a 35-year-old man threatening people and damaging property inside a home after consuming a “large amount” of alcohol and using drugs. The emergency dispatcher said they could hear a male yelling in the home and what sounded like items being thrown.
In a press release, police later said they saw the man’s vehicle headed west on Moreland Avenue in West St. Paul and tried to stop the vehicle and arrest the driver for Domestic Assault and other charges. The driver fled, police said.
A few blocks after police tried to stop the driver, he crossed Robert Street and lost control, striking a power pole and two unoccupied vehicles in a driveway near Moreland Avenue and Kruse Street.
The man was thrown from the vehicle. Medics were called, but police said the driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
Mendota Heights police and the Minnesota State Patrol are investigating the crash.
