(CBS Minnesota) — The Minnesota Vikings’ win over the New Orleans Saints set them up as a popular underdog coming out of Wild Card weekend. The NFC’s sixth seed had the momentum from a big overtime win. And the team, when healthy, matched up much better with their divisional-round opponent, the San Francisco 49ers, than they did with their wild card opponent.
In the win over the Saints, the Vikings offense, with its full complement of weapons, looked formidable. Dalvin Cook showed up rested and healthy Sunday, working his way to 94 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries.
