The New Orleans Saints face the Minnesota Vikings on Jan. 14 in the Divisional Round of the 2018 NFL Playoffs. Here’s all the info you need to watch.

It came down to the wire, but the New Orleans Saints were able to beat the Carolina Panthers on Wildcard Weekend and advance to play the Minnesota Vikings this weekend. Despite the running game disappearing, Drew Brees and the Saints offense were able to put up 31 points, and the defense—particularly Cam Jordan—put the clasps on Cam Newton late in the fourth-quarter.

These two teams met back in Week 1, but both teams are completely different now. For one, it’s Case Keenum and not Sam Bradford serving as the driving force for the Vikings offense. Keenum has put together an unbelievable stretch over the past 10 games, leading the league in passer rating during that time. The Vikings have also been able to overcome key injuries to offensive linemen and star rookie running back Dalvin Cook.

Adrian Peterson, who was on the Saints in Week 1, was traded in October and since then, the Saints offense has taken off with Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram leading the charge. The once maligned Saints defense has also turned the corner, due in large part to star rookie cornerback Marshon Lattimore.

There’s two major storylines to watch in this game. Both the Vikings offense and defense excel on third down, while the Saints surprisingly struggle on both sides of the ball. Furthermore, Adam Thielen has been a revelation for the Vikings, and he operates out of the slot a ton. Marshon Lattimore doesn’t play the slot much, meaning P.J. Williams will have to play a large role in slowing down the Vikings’ Pro Bow receiver.
