The Minnesota Vikings are coming off a weekend for the record books, winning against the Colts in the largest comeback in NFL history.

The Vikings were down 33-0 at halftime, but turned around - in typical dramatic fashion - to win 39-36 on a 40-yard field goal with three seconds left in overtime. They locked up the NFC North division with the win, and a few days later, Kirk Cousins was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week.

On Saturday, the Vikings hosted the New York Giants, who are coming off a 20-12 victory against the Washington Commanders. New York is fighting for a playoff spot, and though the Vikings are favored to win, the Giants have a lot more to lose.
