MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The Minnesota Vikings learned Sunday night that they will face the New Orleans Saints in the Wild Card Round of the NFL playoffs.
It took until the end of the final regular season game in 2019 for the squad to learn they will play the Saints in New Orleans.
It will be a tough matchup for the Vikings, who lost to the Chicago Bears on Sunday (although Vikings only played backups) and were embarrassed last week by the Packers at home on Monday Night Football.
The Vikings’ defense is expected to be under the spotlight going up against future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees.
