Minnesota Vikings Ups and Downs: Week 8 vs the New Orleans Saints

The New Orleans Saints returned to U.S. Bank Stadium, the site of the Minneapolis Miracle, on Sunday, Oct. 28 to face off against the Minnesota Vikings in a contest in prime time on Sunday Night Football.

While the miracle is a thing of the past, the Saints and Vikings are moving forward and looking ahead to this year’s playoffs, hoping to fight for a spot and a chance to make a deep run or possibly a Super Bowl appearance.

Minnesota wasn’t able to get a win at home in Week 8, falling to the Saints by a final score of 20-30 and losing their first place spot in the NFC North to the Chicago Bears, at least for the time being.
