The New York Giants beat the Minnesota Vikings in a stunning playoff upset ... and then added some salt to the wound on Twitter.
Daniel Jones went 24-for-35 for 301 yards passing and two touchdowns in his team's 31-24 win. The Giants only punted once the entire game, and while the Vikings tied things up early in the fourth quarter, a Saquon Barkley touchdown run five minutes later proved to be the deciding factor. The Vikings had a chance to tie things up late in the fourth, but Kirk Cousins threw short on fourth and eight and the Giants hung on.
As befitting as the Giants' first playoff win since 2011, and in response to a Vikings tweet celebrating their wins over the Giants, New York Jets and Buffalo Bills this season by calling themselves "New York's Favorite Team", the Giants' Twitter account went very hard on Minnesota after the game, repurposing their opponents' "Skol Vikings" chant in brutal fashion.
