That oversight tangibly surfaced earlier this week, when the NFL released a postseason hype video that included 10 of the 12 playoff teams but omitted the Vikings and Eagles.


Vikings receiver Stefon Diggs was asked during his session with Twin Cities media members if he had any sort of reaction to the omission.


“I don’t make the videos. We don’t make the videos,” he answered. “We’ve got to play ball.”


Five-time Pro Bowler Harrison Smith has been with Vikings teams that have been underdogs and favorites. He doesn’t much mind the underdog.


“That’s how it is,” Smith said. “All that matters is what we believe, how we prepare in this building and how we go out and play. All that other stuff doesn’t really matter.”


Fellow safety Anthony Harris thought for a moment when asked if the Vikings “enjoy” being looked at as the weaker team.


“I think we like having the opportunity to play another week,” Harris said. “I think guys like the preparation and like competing.”
