NFL playoffs: Giants at Vikings analysis, preview, prediction
Matt Krohn-USA TODAY SportsThe Giants are in the playoffs for the first time in six years.
After a dreadful five seasons headlined by three failed head-coaching tenures and egregious mistakes made by the Dave Gettleman front office, postseason football is back in East Rutherford. At 9-7-1, the Giants are the 6-seed in the NFC.
Their opponent in the NFC Wild Card round: the third-seeded Vikings.
These teams faced each other back on Christmas Eve, a game in which Minnesota won on a 61-yard field goal as time expired. But the Giants are healthier this time around. Safety Xavier McKinney is back after a hand injury and so is cornerback Adoree’ Jackson after a knee injury.
