RT if Brian Daboll should be coach of the year pic.twitter.com/70z77EnAJu

The Dave Gettleman era with the Giants wasn't great. BUT.... Daniel Jones, Saquon Barkley, Dexter Lawrence and Andrew Thomas: All four were 1st-round picks by Gettleman. All 4 picks were criticized at one point or another. Giants wouldn't be where they are without them.

#Giants LB Azeez Ojulari, ruled out with a quad injury, was kneed in the thigh, source said. He'll have tests tomorrow to determine if there is additional damage, but was walking without much of a limp postgame. That's a good sign.

Dexter Lawrence recorded a team-high 8 pressures in the Giants' first playoff win since 2011, including 5 aligned as a zero-technique. Lawrence has generated 29 pressures aligned as a 0-tech this season, 21 more than any other player. #NYGvsMIN | #TogetherBlue pic.twitter.com/p5tpuWS1uV

Isaiah Hodgins in two matchups with the Vikings (often while covered by Patrick Peterson): 16 catches, 194 yards, 2 TDs. Hodgins has 5 TDs in his last 6 games. He's no longer just a nice story. He looks like a real piece of the puzzle going forward.

Jason Pinnock just walked into locker room, back from hospital. Said he's good. Carted off late with abdominal injury. #Giants

What Brian Daboll and Mike Kafka has done with this offense is one of the more special coaching jobs you'll see. This offense was dead last in points per drive last season.

Leonard Williams will make his playoff debut today after 124 career regular season games. On the other side, Giants 2017 second-round pick Dalvin Tomlinson will make his playoff debut with the Vikings after 93 career regular season games.

So Micah McFadden inactive. As I said earlier, expect more Jarrad Davis. Giants inactives: CB Rodarius Williams RB Jashaun Corbin LB Micah McFadden G Wyatt Davis G Jack Anderson WR Kalil Pimpleton DT Henry Mondeaux

Cor'Dale Flott coming in for his first snap, replacing Fabian Moreau. Quite a spot for a rookie who has been on the bench all game.

Expecting a bigger role for LB Jarrad Davis ahead of Micah McFadden on Sunday. Davis was impressive vs. Eagles last week. Landon Collins also still will be heavily in mix. #giants #vikings

Vikings just outsmart themselves on third and 1. Jefferson takes handoff, then throws back to Cousins and Giants had it read. Adoree' Jackson stayed home and made the tackle for a loss.

The regular season finale certainly wasn't meaningless for Jarrad Davis and Lawrence Cager. Davis showed enough to take over as a starting ILB and Cager is back in the mix at TE.

Jon Feliciano is doing the Skol clap as the crowd gets into it during this break.

Wow. I hate that call -- a jet sweep on 3rd and 1. But Matt Breida made it work, though he had to break three tackles just to sneak over the first-down line. Whatever. Move the chains.

Big tackle in the open field by Dane Belton there. He was pressed into action by the Pinnock injury.

The New York Giants have elevated running back Jashaun Corbin and wide receiver Kalil Pimpleton from their practice squad ahead of a Wild Card game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Both are standard elevations.
Neither Corbin nor Pimpleton have been elevated this season and Sunday will mark the first NFL game for both rookies. It’s unclear how the Giants intend to use either or if they’re simply there to provide some additional depth.
The Giants have had some minor issues at wide receiver this week with Marcus Johnson dealing with an ankle injury and Isaiah Hodgins dealing with an ankle injury

Coin flip among the backup DL, but figure they'll go light there since Lawrence and Williams should play as many snaps as possible. Just a hunch that Jarrad Davis showed enough last week to supplant McFadden at the spot next to Jaylon Smith on early downs.

(2/7) • Giants had 49 dropbacks vs. 17 handoffs in the first matchup. Think we'll see more balance today. Vikings play light boxes and feeding Saquon takes some pressure off Evan Neal. Think we'll see more designed runs for Jones, too. • Giants need to help Neal with chips.

Great protection by Andrew Thomas there, standing up in Jones' face and allowing that completion to Hodgins for the first down.

If u are blaming Kirk Cousins for the Vikings loss. U are an idiot simple as that.

Adoree Jackson played opposite Justin Jefferson 85% of the snaps, per NextGen. Allowed 6 catches for 37 yards nearest defender. Asked Jackson what it meant that they trusted him with that assignment after 7 weeks out: "I f*ck with it man. I appreciate the team believing in me."

Vikingso on 4th and 8 from their own 48 ... and S Xavier McKinney stops TE T.J. Hockenson short of the first down. That is going to do it for the Giants!

That's was Jalen Reagor's 5th fumble this season. He's averaging 6.4 yards per punt return. Not sure the risk is quite worth the reward.

Just mentioned on @nflnetwork: #Vikings S Harrison Smith (knee) and RB/KR Kene Nwangwu (illness) are good to go against the #Giants. CB Cameron Dantzler (ankle/personal) will be out.

Cousins mentioned two pending free agents that he feels close to: center Garrett Bradbury and tailback Alexander Mattison. The Vikings could also have salary cap decisions on Dalvin Cook, Adam Thielen, Harrison Smith, Eric Kendricks and others.

Officials missed a false start on Andrew Thomas on the TD. Za'Darius Smith stopped like he expected a flag.

Huge drive by the Vikings. K.J. Osborn gets into the end zone with :45 seconds left in half to make it 17-14.

Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell wouldn't speculate on future of defensive coordinator Ed Donatell.

The Giants are just going to need to take care of the ball because they are getting whatever they want against this Vikings defense. Easy pitch and catch from Jones to Hodgins for the TD against old friend Patrick Peterson again.

#Vikings LB Brian Asamoah II is out with a concussion. #MINvsNYG

That is a hard-earned running by Saquon for that 2-yard TD. Drove Dalvin Tomlinson backward and finished in the paint.

Baffling, baffling short yardage call on 3rd and 1 from Kevin O'Connell. He has been lights out in a lot of ways on play-calling this season, but short yardage plays have been weird.

Huge Alexander Mattison pickup in pass protection gives Cousins time to thread the pass to Jefferson in the flat. Touchdown

Eric Kendricks saw that the whole way, pointing in the direction of the sweep on third down. He cuts it off, but Breida gets the first.

On Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings lost to the New York Giants in the NFC Wild Card round of the playoffs by a score of 31-24. With that loss comes the end of the Vikings’ season and many questions about some of the players and staff on the team. One of those players is wide receiver Adam Thielen.
Thielen’s wife Caitlin Thielen posted a photo of herself and her husband on Instagram shortly after the Vikings’ loss on Sunday, with the following caption:
“And just like that the season and our time here in MN might be at an end. Super proud of your attitude this season and always fighting

Danielle Hunter with the sack. Huge stop for the #Vikings, who sent five after Jones.
