Trailing 25-10 late in the third quarter, the Giants ran six plays inside the Vikings' 20 but came away with no points. They got as close as the 3, but on third-and-2 from there Daniel Jones threw an incomplete fade to Evan Engram in the end zone then took a sack on fourth down in which the protection was overwhelmed.
