The Minnesota Vikings (10-6) are on the road today to face the New Orleans Saints (13-3) in an NFC wildcard matchup at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in Louisiana.

The Saints are the #3 seed in the NFC playoffs. The Vikings grabbed the last spot, becoming the #6 seed. A Minnesota win would send the Vikings to face the #1 seeded 49ers next weekend in San Francisco.

The last time the Vikings won a playoff hame came on January 14, 2018 -- when Case Keenum connected with Stefon Diggs for the 'Minneapolis Miracle,' and a 29-25 win over the Saints.

Minnesota did not reach the postseason last year.
