Minnesota Vikings vs New Orleans Saints Preview
There is certainly no love lost between these two teams following a pair of playoff classics over the last few years.
The Vikings have the wood over the Saints after pulling off the Minneapolis Miracle in the divisional round two years ago before causing further heartache last year with their walkoff win in the Superdome.
As far as Saturday’s game goes, it’s fair to say this is an important one for both sides.
The likelihood of the Saints somehow wrestling the first seed in the NFC away from the Packers appears slim, while the Vikings, now at 6-8, also have work to do if they wish to upstage the Cardinals and the Bears for a potential Wild Card spot.
The Saints showed plenty of fight last week in their loss to the Chiefs and it was very encouraging to see the defence hold Patrick Mahomes in check throughout various stages of the game.
Unfortunately, Drew Brees still looks far from 100%, making it difficult to get too excited about New Orleans’ chances this season.
The Vikings also left a lot to be desired last week in their loss to the Bears as the defence gave up just under 400 yards.
They likely won’t find this any easier with Michael Thomas set to return to the field, so there’s a good chance we see the Saints bounce-back with a big total.
