Case Keenum won't be anxious in his first playoff start, he'll be 'excited nervous'

It’s not anxiety that’s inside Case Keenum. It’s anticipation.

The Minnesota Vikings quarterback says he can imagine what his first playoff start will be like on Sunday and expects the emotions to be swirling. But right now, all he can do is picture the moment in his mind. Unlike the quarterback he’ll be going toe-to-toe with for a trip to the NFC Championship Game, Keenum hasn’t been here before.

Playoff experience is the headliner in this weekend’s divisional round. All four games feature a quarterback with a lot of experience against one making his first or second career postseason start.
