Quarterback Kirk Cousins found a rhythm with his wide receivers early, particularly Adam Thielen, who got involved from the start, but crucial drops by receivers caused the offense to struggle down the line.
The Saints did not start off great, but their defense finally made something happen as time was expiring in the first quarter, and did so in a big way with a Tyrann Mathieu interception on Cousins. The Saints were able to capitalize on the pick and marched down the rest of the field, converting their first first downs of the game as well as putting up their first points of the day. Chris Olave’s four-yard reception got the Saints in the end zone.
From there, it was a story of field goals. The Vikings regained the lead after a yard field goal by Joseph with just over a minute left in the half. Minnesota then forced another turnover on the Saints return, but once again could only get a field goal on the fumble.
The Vikings got creative with a fake punt, using punter Ryan Wright’s high school quarterback skills to complete a yard pass to Thielen, but they were only able to get three points from the play. The Saints got their first lead of the game, thanks to a Taysom Hill touchdown run and a successful two-point conversion. The lead did not last very long, as Justin Jefferson responded with a touchdown of his own, but a missed extra point made it a three-point game.

The Saints have the most three-and-outs of any team in the league and with their starting quarterback out and Alvin Kamara as a late scratch, they had more obstacles to overcome. Penalties were an issue with the Saints, racking up 10 for yards opposed to the Vikings five penalties for 35 yards. Turnovers were another struggle, and even though the Vikings were scoring just three points off the takeaways, those field goals add up. The Saints were better in the red zone, produced just about as many passing yards, total plays, total yards, total drives and took less sacks than the Vikings, but the slow start, the fumbles and allowing the Vikings to get in the red zone five times is what gave them an L at the end of the day.
Who doesn’t love some creativity on special teams? The Vikings lined up in a punt formation, but caught the Saints off guard with their fake-punt-turned-pass. Punter Ryan Wright, a former high school quarterback, completed a yard pass to Adam Thielen for the first down, keeping the Vikings drive alive.

The Vikings get creative on the punt fake. Punter Ryan Wright shows off his arm with a yard play to Adam Thielen. Wright was a quarterback in high school and clearly still has some throwing skills. The extra point is good to make it Minnesota. A yard catch by Callaway sets the Saints up for first-and-goal. Huge play for the Saints who could close the gap on the Vikings lead here.
