Schedule Game summaries NFC Wild Card Playoffs: at (3) New Orleans Saints With a 20-10 lead entering the fourth quarter, the Saints managed to tie the game, and send it into overtime, making it the first time since the 2009 NFC Championship Game that the Vikings played in a playoff game that went into overtime. Coincidentally it was also a road game against the Saints. It was also the second Wild Card game of the postseason to go into overtime. The Vikings got the ball first, and Kirk Cousins threw a pass to Adam Thielen for a 43-yard gain, which set them on the New Orleans 2-yard line. After losing two yards on the next two plays, Cousins found Kyle Rudolph at the back of the endzone for a 4-yard touchdown to win the game. With this, the Vikings won their first playoff game on the road since their 31-17 victory over the Green Bay Packers in the 2004 Wild Card Round. As of 2025, this was the last time that the Vikings won a playoff game. NFC Divisional Playoffs: at (1) San Francisco 49ers ==Statistics==
