Even after all of the euphoria of Sunday night’s victory for the Minnesota Vikings, I would like to take a moment to do something that I generally wouldn’t, and that’s give some props to a member of the opposing team. It’s even stranger considering that player is a member of the New Orleans Saints.
When the Saints punted away on their opening possession, it looked like Marcus Sherels had an opportunity to break off a huge return. There was one guy that stood between Sherels and pay dirt, and that was Saints’ punter Thomas Morstead.
