The New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings each took their shots on Sunday night, but the black and gold saw more of theirs hit home.
New Orleans’ defensive secondary was sliced up early in the game, but the unit as a whole gathered itself and began to take control late in the game. Here’s how Minnesota’s drives turned out once they took a 13-7 lead midway through the second quarter:
- Punt
- Fumble
- End of first half
- Turnover on downs
- Interception-touchdown
- Punt
- Touchdown
- End of regulation
The Saints defense was buoyed by several recent high draft picks.
