coming up next in sports - the nfl wild card playoffs are underway - and the vikings were in action this afternoon. minnesota took on defending nfc champion seattle. we've got highlights and coming up next. plus, the iowa women lock horns with 8th-ranked maryland at carver- hawkeye arena. the vikings survived a knock-down, drag out fight with the packers last weekend to claim the n-f-c north championship. for their efforts, minnesota nabbed the third-seed in the n-f-c playoffs - but had to host seattle. the seahawks, who lost last vikings 38-to-7 in week 13. game-time temperature was negative-6 degrees - the third coldest game in n-f-l history. we pick it up in the 4th quarter - vikings with three field goals on the board - seattle nothing - broken play - but russell wilson finds tyler lockett for 35 yards - deep into minnesota territory. that sets up wilson to doug baldwin for a 3 yard touchdown - seattle would eventually take a 10-9 lead. vikings get a final drive - kyle rudolph on the reception - avoids a tackle - and minnesota is in business. so that leaves blair walsh - who was 3- for-3 on the day - wit

"it'll be warm out there for me but ... it's gonna be cold but that's okay, we'll be ready for the elements." the league will also do what it can to keep players warm. there will be heated benches and blowers on the sidelines. players will probably also grab their coats and hand warmers when they are not on the field meanwhile - the seahawks are facing a different problem. they are not going to have one of their star players in the game! the team announced "beast mode" - or marshawn lynch - did not make the trip to minnesota. he had surgery back in november....and has been recovering since then. no word on when he will be back... ....but i'm sure all the 12's out there cannot wait. you can check out all of the stories that are trending today.. just head to our websit
