Ok. Some controversy at the very end with pass interference but... well good night Saints
At first glance I thought it was a push-off, but after another look there was hand-fighting between the two players and I think the receiver was actually pulling his hand out of the defender's grasp, not pushing off. Amazing throw and catch between Cousins and Thielen to put the Vikings in scoring position. I don't think the defender could have done anything to stop that.
I was hoping to see Brees go farther into the playoffs, but oh well.
Seahawks get the last spot in the second round, after beating the Eagles 17-9. Josh McCown was retired and coaching high-school football earlier this year, but the Eagles signed him as as insurance after two of their backups were injured earlier in the year. He was thrust into this game when the Eagles' starting quarterback got knocked out by a helmet-to-helmet collision. The Seahawks had a bunch of injuries too. I didn't watch much of this one.
