Giants vs Vikings Preview

One of the wild card match-ups of the first weekend of the NFL 2023 playoffs is between the New York Giants, who finished third in the NFC East with a record of 9-7, and the Minnesota Vikings, who won the NFC North with a record of 13-4. As such, one might expect the Vikings to be heavily favored, but they are only actually favored by a field goal.

That may be in part because when the two teams played each other on Christmas Eve, the Vikings only won by a field goal at home. At the post-game press conference after that game, Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell said they knew they were going to have a battle on their hands against the Giants.

“We knew this was going to be a grind of a game against a really well-coached football team in all three phases on that sideline. We weren’t exactly at our best throughout, we’re still hunting that four quarters of true consistent football that we wanna see, but I was really proud of our guys and the complementary football that showed up there to help put that thing away,” said O’Connell at the time.

In his pre-game press conference ahead of the wild card game, O’Connell said that they know this game will just as big of a battle as the regular season match-up.

“[We have] shifted our focus to the New YOrk Giants, a recent opponent. Went down to the wire at US Bank stadium, we needed everything we had to win that one and no reason in the world why the expectation won’t be the same. We’re gonna have to play really good against this team. All three phases, we’ll have to show up and play well and we’ll be working very, very hard this week to make sure we do that. But being back at US Bank will be huge for our team, knowing what our home crowd has meant to us this year. The environment, they’re expecting it to be super energized on Sunday,” said O’Connell.

He later added, “Every time we had a chance to get momentum and keep it, they were able to put a drive together for points … you’d like to limit some of those explosive plays … that tend to sometimes stack together a little bit and give offenses some momentum.”

The Vikings vs Giants playoff game kicks off Sunday, January 15 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time on FOX. Because of the new way the NFL playoffs work where the teams are re-seeded after the first round, we won’t know until the wild card games are completed who the winners will advance to face next weekend in the divisional round.
