The New York Giants took down the Minnesota Vikings, 31-24, on Sunday evening for their first playoff victory since Super Bowl XLVI. It also served as a little revenge from a Week 16 loss in Minneapolis.

With the win, the Giants move on in the NFC Playoffs where they’ll take on the Philadelphia Eagles in the divisional round this Saturday night.
