New York Giants Form
New York won just three of their nine games after the bye week, but that was enough to earn a playoff place.
The Giants made a hot start to life under new head coach Brian Daboll, winning six of their first seven games.
They saw a four-game win streak end with a 27-13 loss in Seattle though, and that defeat for the bye started a downturn in fortunes that threatened to ruin their season.
NY beat Houston 24-16 in their first game back after the bye, but would not win again for several weeks.
The Giants lost 31-18 to Detroit before suffering a 28-20 defeat at Dallas, and their winless run then reached three games with a 20-20 tie at home to Washington.
They were blown out 48-22 by Philadelphia a week later, but finally stopped their slide with a 20-12 win at Washington.
New York failed to build on it as they lost two of their final three games, sandwiching a 38-10 win against Indianapolis with a 27-24 defeat at Minnesota and a 22-16 loss in Philadelphia.
Minnesota Vikings Form
Minnesota dropped a few games during the second half of the season, but a 13-4 record earned them the NFC North crown.
The Vikings made an early statement as they beat Green Bay 23-7 in opening day, and they went on to win four of their next five games to enter the bye at 5-1.
Their good run continued when they returned to action to beat Arizona 34-26 at home, before winning 20-17 at Washington and 33-30 in overtime at Buffalo.
Minnesota’s seven-game streak was halted by a 40-3 blowout loss to Dallas, but they bounced back quickly to beat New England 33-26 and the New York Jets 27-22.
A 34-23 defeat in Detroit followed, only for the Vikings to again rebound with a couple of wins.
They beat Indianapolis 39-36 and the New York Giants 27-24 before crashing to a 41-17 defeat at Green Bay.
The Vikings rebounded in their regular season finale though, winning 29-13 on the road in Chicago.
