As consistent as they come, Harrison Smith has made himself distinguishable after 13 elite seasons within Minnesota’s secondary; as the Giants learned in Week 1, though, what’s easy to pick out doesn’t need to be picked on. Punishing New York’s decision to send a pass through his middle-of-the-field neighborhood during a fourth-quarter comeback bid, Smith, holding steady in the Vikings’ zone defense, undercut the route to secure interception No. 35 of his illustrious career. The six-time Pro Bowler matched his on-field impact with the box score’s storyline seamlessly, compiling seven tackles (three solo), one interception, and an eye-opening 3.1 quarterback passer rating allowed (on four targets) during Sept. 8, 2024’s dominant 28-6 win.
