This one was a tale of two halves, and there was plenty of drama with four lead changes in the final three minutes. The Vikings took a 7-0 lead on their first offensive possession and the defense kept Drew Brees off rhythm in the first half. After the first quarter, Brees was 1-of-6 passing for three yards and a pick.

Either that or he’s going to Vegas to cash in big time next week.

NFL needs to investigate it. The whiff was intentional.

I almost wrote off my Vikings 2 times. Awesome finish!
What a game.

If the Saints fall in the woods, and no one watches, does anyone give a crap?

“Marcus Williams probably was seeing a possible pass interference come”

Good point, maybe he was trying to show that “his hands were clean” of interference.

“The Vikings QB reminds me of Kurt Warner”

Local sports guys were making the same comparison in their pregame comments.

"Fixed. No way that whiff was real."

I've made bonehead plays like that. As a no-talent 5th grader.

Marcus Williams probably was seeing a possible pass interference come about as he was running right on Diggs as the ball was approaching.

He could have let him catch it. Time had run out. He didn't have to risk a pass interference.

Still his fault for putting himself in that position.

Time management by Saints was suspect also. They should have run more off the clock before kicking there last field goal.

I kind of had the feeling that he was worried about causing a pass interference.

I played defensive back. He just had to wrap the guy up instead of trying to block him down. He not only missed but took out one of his teammates who could have run the guy down. Something stinks here.

The NFL wants the Vikings to win since they are hosting the Superbowl.

They could have just as easily walked away winning this game and certainly gave the Vikes all they could handle. I can sympathize with their fans, this was a heart-breaker loss. But I’m glad I’m not mourning a loss this time.

There are over 40,000 Somalians in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Football players no longer tackle as a general rule. They try to hit instead. So things like this happen.

Burned two time outs they shouldn’t have, also.
