EAGAN, MN — The Minnesota Vikings (11-6) and Tennessee Titans (10-7) both earned victories on Wild Card Weekend as the No. 6 seed in their respective conferences. Last season, both the Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles advanced to the Divisional Round of the playoffs as No. 6 seeds in their conferences. This marks the first time in which two No. 6 seeds advanced past Wild Card Weekend in consecutive seasons since the NFL instituted the current 12-team playoff format in 1990.

Minnesota, who travels to San Francisco on Saturday and Tennessee, who travels to Baltimore on Saturday night, can become the first No. 6 seeds to reach the Conference Championship since 2010.

To kick off the Divisional Round of the NFL’s 100th season, the NFC’s No. 1 seed, the San Francisco 49ers (13-3), host the No. 6 seed Minnesota Vikings (11-6) on Saturday.

Minnesota advanced to the Divisional Round with a 26-20 overtime victory in New Orleans on Wild Card Weekend. In his postseason debut last week, Minnesota running back Dalvin Cook finished with 130 scrimmage yards (94 rushing, 36 receiving) and two rushing touchdowns in the victory.

If Cook records at least 125 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on Saturday, he would become the first player with at least 125 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns in each of his first two career postseason games in NFL history, according to a news release.
