The Minnesota Vikings host the Philadelphia Eagles at the Metrodome on Sunday in a first-round playoff match up. The Vikings still have 8,000 tickets to sell, and if the game is not sold out, the telecast will be blacked out on local television. MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Sean Jensen, who covers the Vikings for the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
