The Shooutout In New Orleans Has Begun

Who dat? Apparently, Adrian Peterson thinks he gonna beat dem Saints. The Vikings opened the game with a 10-play, 80-yard drive, resulting in a 19-yard Peterson touchdown run. Brett Favre was 6-for-7 with 47 yards and the Vikings never had to deal with a third down. Though, his Playing Like A Kid measurement was only a 17.2 -- hopefully he works on that.

Just a little more than three minutes later, the Saints answered, tying the game 7-7 when Pierre Thomas took a screen pass 38 yards down the right sidelines for a touchdown of their own.

Hope you didn’t come for the defense ...
