When the New York Giants played the Minnesota Vikings in Week 16, they seemed to be one player away from victory. In the end, Big Blue lost on a heart-breaking field goal as time expired. That defeat has now been avenged, however, as the Giants came away with a 31-24 victory over the Vikings in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs.
One crucial player that was absent from the first contest between these two teams was on the field for the Wild Card round, making all the difference. Giants cornerback Adoree’ Jackson was excellent in New York’s postseason victory over the Vikings, slowing down Justin Jefferson and propelling the Giants to victory.
