    Just two points in it not too long left to play, who wins this from here?

    Thumbs up for Vikings.

    Thumbs down for Saints.

  2. Great play!published at 16:40 British Summer Time 2 October 2022

    Minnesota Vikings 16-14 New Orleans Saints

    Oh wow. Fake punt. And it works.

    The Vikings punter Ryan Wright was apparently a quarterback in college. He finds Jalen Nailor with a throw when the Saints were expecting the punt.

    First down for Vikings. What a shift in momentum.

    The Vikings are given decent field possession by a good return and a penalty on New Orleans for unnecessary roughness.

    A third-down throw from Kirk Cousins is completed but it's short of a first down.

  4. Sweet Caroline!published at 16:38 British Summer Time 2 October 2022

    Minnesota Vikings 16-14 New Orleans Saints

    Things you don't get at other sporting events - over 60,000 fans, including the cast of Ted Lasso - belting out Sweet Caroline in the October north London sunshine.

    That was quite a scene!

  5. touchdown

    Touchdown - Saintspublished at 16:34 British Summer Time 2 October 2022

    Minnesota Vikings 16-14 New Orleans Saints

    Latavius Murray would not be stopped.

    The back-up running back, a former Viking, is almost held up before the line but keeps his legs moving and breaks the plane of the endzone.

    What a great drive by the Saints, who have struggled on offense for most of this game - and Wil Lutz' extra point moves New Orleans within two.

    Minnesota will be kicking themselves. They have controlled this game but it's back in the balance after that gutsy Saints call to go for it on fourth down earlier in the drive.

    So close for Andy Dalton who tries to fool the Vikings with a quarterback run but is stopped a yard short. Third down...

    Saints building up steam now and it's Callaway again, beautifully hauling a Dalton throw in near the sideline.

    Huge chance for New Orleans to get back in this, they are within four yards.

  8. Saints convert on fourth downpublished at 16:30 British Summer Time 2 October 2022

    Minnesota Vikings 16-7 New Orleans Saints

    They do go for it - and they get it!

    Marquez Callaway is right near the line to gain when he is tackled but the officials are happy he made it.

    Huge fourth-down conversion for New Orleans.

    There's not always been the best quality on offence here, but on the defensive side of the ball there's been some fierce hitting in the trenches.

    The Saints are thinking about going for it on fourth down with four yards needed.

    Maybe they should stick to the ground game.

    Andy Dalton risks another interception to a receiver under pressure. It's batted away.

    A sideline throw on third down is also a gamble and Vikings cornerback Patrick Peterson bats it away.

  12. Postpublished at 16:27 British Summer Time 2 October 2022

    Minnesota Vikings 16-7 New Orleans Saints

    Another injury for New Orleans.

    There were already without starting quarterback Jameis Winston, star wide receiver Michael Thomas and elite running back Alvin Kamara.

    Now another running back, Mark Ingram, is struggling. But third choice Latavius Murray steps up with a big run to start their latest drive, taking New Orleans beyond halfway into Minnesota territory.

  14. field goal

    Field goal - Vikingspublished at 16:22 British Summer Time 2 October 2022

    Minnesota Vikings 16-7 New Orleans Saints

    Greg Joseph completes the formalities.

    But the lead is only nine when it should arguably be considerably more.

    New Orleans' defense claims another moral win by holding Minnesota to three points for the third straight time.

    Will the Vikings rue these missed opportunities? Well, the Saints are going to need to start firing on offense, and they've not done too much so far.

  15. Vikings stopped short againpublished at 16:21 British Summer Time 2 October 2022

    Minnesota Vikings 13-7 New Orleans Saints

    Huge chance goes begging for Minnesota on second-and-goal.

    Kirk Cousins' throw is just behind an unmarked Justin Jefferson, who cannot haul it in.

    Third-and-goal - Cousins finds Adam Thielen but he's stopped well short of the endzone.

    It's going to have be a field goal again for the Vikings - the third straight time they have been in the redzione but failed to come away with a touchdown.

  16. Postpublished at 16:19 British Summer Time 2 October 2022

    Minnesota Vikings 13-7 New Orleans Saints

    Minnesota almost score a touchdown straight after the turnover as Justin Jefferson claims a 40-yard catch but steps just out of bounds under pressure, only yards from the endzone.

  17. Turnover - Saints fumblepublished at 16:18 British Summer Time 2 October 2022

    Once again the Saints' defense does its job and the Vikings goes three and out.

    But as Saints punt returner Deonte Harty tries to gain a few extra yards after collecting the kick, the ball is punched out of his grasp by Kris Boyd.

    The Vikings recover and New Orleans are being their own worst enemies.

  18. Dalton almost picked againpublished at 16:16 British Summer Time 2 October 2022

    Minnesota Vikings 13-7 New Orleans Saints

    Huge let-off for Dalton as Cameron Dantzler should pick him off but juggles the ball and drops it.

    But New Orleans cannot convert on third down and will have to punt.

  19. Second half under waypublished at 16:11 British Summer Time 2 October 2022

    Minnesota Vikings 13-7 New Orleans Saints

    Big start to the second half for New Orleans as touchdown scorer Chris Olave is found free by Andy Dalton in the middle of the field.

    The Saints are out to their 40-yard line but then Mark Ingram loses five yards as a first-down run is stopped in the backfield.

  20. 'Their defense has been on the field a lot'published at 16:09 British Summer Time 2 October 2022

    Minnesota Vikings 13-7 New Orleans Saints

    Minnesota head coach Kevin O'Connell during his half-time interview:

    "They made a couple of good plays with their defense, they got us into some longer yardage situations.

    "We are trying to get the run game going a bit but it's a heavy front up there. We will keep attempting to do that - it will be important to win at the line of scrimmage.

    "Their defense has been on the field for a lot of plays in that first half. We just have to continue to execute on and off the ball and we feel great about where we are at."
