by Michael Tunison

The Saints threw the ball 15 times in the first quarter alone and run the ball only once, yet had great success moving the ball, gaining 138 yards to Minnesota’s 44 yards. Nevertheless, the score remains a close 7-0 after the opening slate.

The Vikings are presently driving with two first downs on their first drive of the second quarter. But the Vikings have yet to strike on a 20+ yard play, as the Saints did twice to Marques Colton alone on their opening drive.
