(CBS Minnesota) — The Minnesota Vikings return to the playoffs after missing out last season. As the sixth seed in the NFC, they travel to New Orleans to face the Saints, the last team they beat in the postseason. It will also be their first playoff game under Kirk Cousins, who was brought in for precisely these sorts of moments.
The Saints and Vikings haven’t faced each other since that fateful day almost two years ago, when Stefon Diggs caught a last-minute sideline pass that he turned into six points and a trip to the conference championship.
