Giants vs Vikings live stream: How to watch Wild Card game of the NFL Playoffs online today

The Giants vs Vikings live stream has Minnesota looking to add a deep playoff run to their unprecedented season. The Vikings have had historic comebacks to help them maintain one of the best records in the NFL all year long. The Giants on the other hand have had high peaks and very low valleys throughout the year. The G-Men are hoping this NFL live stream marks their first playoff win in 11 years.

First year head coach Brian Daboll has the Giants (9-7-1) back in the playoffs for the first time since 2016. In just one season he helped reboot the career of quarterback Daniel Jones and get all-pro running back Saquon Barkley back on track. All this while being the only NFC playoff team that did not produce a 1,000-yard receiver. Darius Slayton led the “G-Men” in that category with 724 yards on 46 catches.   

After a 6-1 start to the season, New York looked like a lock to the playoffs, but the road to the postseason would prove bumpy. Following their Week 7 win over Jacksonville, the Giants went 3-6-1 the rest of the way. They would have to wait until their dominating 38-10 win over the Colts in Week 17 to clinch a playoff berth allowing them to rest starters like Jones and Barkley in the regular season finale against the Eagles.

Injuries played a huge factor in New York’s struggles, but now they are getting healthy at the right time. Starting corner Adoree’ Jackson who suffered an MCL injury in Week 11 will make his return today. Safety Xavier McKinney only played in nine games this season, but returned for Week 17's win over the Colts. Both will play today and try to help stop Minnesota’s potent passing attack.

Kirk Cousins and the Vikings (13-4) bring the league’s 6th best passing offense into the playoffs. All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson put together another stellar season catching 128 passes for 1,809 yards, both to lead the league with 8 touchdowns. In the midst of posting those numbers, Jefferson passed Hall of Famer Randy Moss’ record for most receiving yards in a player’s first three seasons.

This game will mark the second meeting between these teams this season. The Vikings beat the Giants in Minnesota in Week 16, 27-24. Greg Joseph drilled a franchise record 61-yard field goal as time expired to help put the Vikings over the top.

Joseph’s field goal would be just one of the many incredible or historic moments the Vikings have experienced this season. There was their amazing Week 10 overtime win in Buffalo, where an Erik Kendricks fumble recovery in the end zone helped force overtime and later a 33-30 win. Then in Week 15, Kirk Cousins and company mounted the greatest comeback in NFL history, beating the Colts 39-36 in overtime after trailing 33-0 at halftime.

The Action Network has the Vikings as 3-point favorites against the Giants.
