Vikings vs. Giants Preview: Suspending Disbelief

The Minnesota Vikings' playoff push has been assisted by the suspension of Odell Beckham Jr. (for now). Can Minnesota take care of business and assure an NFC North title game next week?

Wikipedia defines the phrase "suspension of disbelief" as follows:

A term coined in 1817 by the poet and aesthetic philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who suggested that if a writer could infuse a "human interest and a semblance of truth" into a fantastic tale, the reader would suspend judgement concerning the implausibility of the narrative. Suspension of disbelief often applies to fictional works of the action, comedy, fantasy, and horror genres.
