The Divisional Playoffs of the NFL are completed by the thrill between the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints. The Vikings want to keep the dream of Super Bowl alive in their own stadium, the Saints want to keep that dream alive from their first trip on the whole big stage since their title win after the 2009 season. You can see the encounter between the Vikings and Saints live on DAZN.
The NFC’s Divisional Game between the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints climbs on Sunday the 14th. January 2018 at 22.40 Central European Time. The venue is the U. S. Bank Stadium of Minneapolis/Minnesota, the venue of Super Bowl LII.
DAZN, the Perform Group’s streaming service, shows the match between the Vikings and Saints live. The same goes for all other games of the NFL playoffs, but by the way: The two conference championship games as well as the Super Bowl can be enjoyed by DAZN customers in the original commentary.

While the Vikings were free from play last week thanks to the number 2 seed in the NFC, the New Orleans Saints – number 4 of the conference – beat NFC South opponent Carolina Panthers (31:26), who they beat for the third time this season.
The Saints is particularly distinguished this season by the running game, which has been somewhat neglected by Head Coach Sean Payton’s team for years. But with the running backs of Mark Ingram, who is probably his best season ever, and Rookie Alvin Kamara, this aspect of the offensive was breathed new life into it. That went so well that Drew didn’t throw brees for so few yards in a long time.
The Vikings, on the other hand, rely above all on an outstanding defensive and an offensive that is only marginally inferior to their opponent. It is noteworthy that Case Keenum nominally marks the third quarterback of the team since starter Sam Bradford’s injury-related loss of control and the season of his life.
Both teams will meet for the second time this year. In Week 1 the Vikings won 29:19 and showed very early on the potential of this team. At that time, however, Bradford was still the quarterback. And the Saints-Defense looked significantly different and has now become one of the best units in the league.
