The Vikings might make it to the NFC Championship Game -- they will have to beat Dallas on Sunday to do so -- but they won't be playing host to the game.

That became certain today when the Saints beat Arizona, 45-14, in an NFC divisional playoff game at the Superdome. New Orleans is the top seed in the conference and thus will play host to the title game at 5:40 p.m. a week from Sunday.

Now time to watch Baltimore and Indianapolis face off in an AFC matchup.
