Sean Payton Says Saints Replay Monitors in Coaching Booth vs. Vikings Were out

New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton lost two bad challenges in the second half of his team's loss to the Minnesota Vikings Sunday, but he says it wasn't necessarily his fault.

"Our monitor was down," he explained Monday, per Josh Katzenstein of NOLA.com. "Our booth was the only booth that didn't have a feed to it. So, you just got to go with your gut, and fortunately, it wasn't an issue with the timeouts."

If the Saints' replay monitor was the only one malfunctioning at U.S. Bank Stadium, it may have been a significant disadvantage in the eventual 29-24 loss.
