The 49ers’ last-minute victory over the Seahawks on Sunday night settled the Vikings’ schedule for both this year’s NFC playoffs and the 2020 regular season. They will play the third-seeded Saints in New Orleans for the wild-card round on Sunday, and they will head to Seattle for the third straight season in 2020, to face the Seahawks sometimes in the regular season.
There seems to be enough consternation about the scheduling process — and enough frustration over another trip to Seattle — that it seemed like a good idea to replace our usual morning-after-the-game blog with a FAQ on the Vikings’ upcoming schedules: both their playoff path and their 2020 slate.
