The Giants celebrated their “take over” of the No. 3 seeded Vikings on Sunday.

Documented by receiver Isaiah Hodgins on Instagram, the Giants celebrated in their locker room at U.S. Bank Stadium after a 31-24 wild-card weekend win over the Vikings in the NFC playoffs.

Hodgins, along with Saquon Barkley and numerous other players, recited the lyrics to Bankroll Fresh’s “Take Over Your Trap” while partying it up. 

An oversized hat with “HIM” emblazoned on it was also passed around. The cap eventually ended up on Kayvon Thibodeaux’s head, who did a dance with it on.

Daniel Jones threw for 301 yards and two touchdowns while not turning the ball over in the victory. He also ran 14 times for 78 yards. Saquon Barkley had 109 total yards and two rushing touchdowns.
