Who better to bring American Football across the pond for the first time this season than a pair of teams that have a fairly lengthy history of hating one another?
Dating back to the 2009 postseason, the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints have had an odd rivalry, but its origins are no secret. The scandal that would become known as Bountygate, which involved then-Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams paying out bonuses to his players for injuring opponents, came to a head after the Saints’ NFC Championship Game win over Minnesota which involved questionable (at best) hits on Brett Favre.
