One former NFL MVP, a former Super Bowl MVP and one of the game's rising quarterbacks are playing this weekend for a chance to visit the Vikings Jan. 14 at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Each passer — the Panthers' Cam Newton, Saints' Drew Brees or the Rams' Jared Goff — presents a unique challenge for the NFL's No. 1-ranked defense in Minnesota.
But which foe is the best matchup for the Vikings in the NFC divisional round?
No matter this weekend's outcomes, the Vikings' opening playoff game will feature a rematch of the regular season against either the Rams, Saints or Panthers.
