The Vikings finally were able to break through in the ground game against the New York Giants on Monday night. With top tailback Jerick McKinnon often running behind fullback Zach Line, the team topped 100 rushing yards for the first time this season.

Line, often a bit player in coordinator Norv Turner's offense, was used on 24 of the 72 offensive plays, his highest snap count since 2013, his rookie year.
