3 challenges the Saints will face against the wild-card Vikings

From play-action passing game to a stout run defense, the New Orleans Saints face several big challenges in the wild-card Minnesota Vikings.

A stout Minnesota rushing defense

The Vikings have allowed 108.0 rushing yards per game in 2019. That represents one of the best rushing defenses the Saints have faced this season. A huge key to success for New Orleans will be getting running back Alvin Kamara going on the ground, and making the best use of each possession.

Minnesota’s game plan will undoubtedly be to stop the Saints on the ground, considering they will be without two of their top four cornerbacks this week in Mike Hughes and Mackensie Alexander. If the Vikings can stop the run, it may help them guard against the pass that much more.
