Fans of the Minnesota Vikings have now had the chance to get a night’s sleep after watching the purple and gold complete a stunning upset against the heavily favored New Orleans Saints in the Superdome on Sunday. That doesn’t mean the energy has stopped though.
Exciting new defensive techniques and an efficient offense kept the Saints on their heels the entire game. Minnesota continually kept the biggest offensive weapons of the Saints in check and the end result was a 26-20 victory.
Seeing Kirk Cousins and the Vikings walk out of Louisiana with a victory and advance to the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs still feels surreal, but the team’s journey puts one game at a time in front of Minnesota.
