NFL playoff schedule, bracket 2023: Giants will head to Minnesota again

Here is the updated playoff bracket, schedule

The New York Giants will travel to Minneapolis to face the Minnesota Vikings in the Wild-Card round of of the 2023 NFC playoffs. The Giants were locked into the No. 6 seed even before Sunday’s 22-16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Minnesota defeated the Chicago Bears, 29-13, and the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Arizona Cardinals, 38-13, on Sunday.

Seattle’s 19-16 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday knocked the Detroit Lions out of the playoff race in the NFC. The Green Bay Packers can take the seventh seed in the NFC away from Seattle with a victory over the Lions on Sunday Night Football.

“We’ll prepare as hard as we can to go play a really good football team in a hostile environment,” Giants coach Brian Daboll said of facing Minnesota.

“I just know I have to do a great job of doing my job. Coaches have to do a great job of preparing. Each week is a different week. This week will be a different week than it was the last time we played them. Just like Washington was different. Just like the Philly game and Dallas. They’re all different. We’ll just control the things we can control which is our preparation and practice.”
