The Minnesota Vikings took out the New Orleans Saints by a score of 27-19 and now have the tiebreaker over two of their biggest competitors for a wild card spot.
The game itself wasn’t easy though. The Vikings got up 27-3 but allowed the Saints to score the final 16 points and even afforded them a Hail Mary attempt to tie the game on its final play.
The Vikings now have won five games in a row, including two against division foes and three against teams who had records at or above 0.500.
After the game, head coach Kevin O’Connell spoke to the media and had some glowing words for multiple players and coaches.
