A close encounter 

The Vikings QB Kirk Cousins struggled to get his team over the line in a game that never went over a one-score difference. Both teams were in the game right till the end. And it was the home team that went out with the Giants winning 31-24.

Cousins threw 273 passing yards in 31 completions. The QB scored two touchdowns through the air while the Giants’ defense couldn’t intercept any passes. But he did get away with a sack with a roughing the passer call.

The Giants will take on the Philadelphia Eagles in the divisional round. Can they cause another upset in that game?
