Vikings Still in Control of No. 2 Seed After Week 13


EAGAN, Minn. — It came down to a final defensive play, but the Vikings stood their ground in Week 13, getting a Camryn Bynum interception at the goal line with 10 seconds reamining to seal a 27-22 victory Sunday against the New York Jets.

Minnesota (10-2) joined Philadelphia (11-1) as the only NFL teams with double-digit victories so far this season. The win also kept the Vikings two games ahead of San Francisco (8-4) for the No. 2 seed in the NFC Playoffs standings.

The Eagles cruised past Tennessee (7-5) Sunday to maintain the No. 1 seed, which will be awarded home-field advantage throughout the postseason and a first-round bye.

Since the NFL expanded the playoffs to include seven teams in each conference in 2020, No. 2 seeds will now play on Wild Card Weekend.
