Vikes Pull It Out

It was there second monday night game this season. They were 1-3 and Gus wasn't playing all that bad, he just really didn't have anyone to work with except for running backs Chestor Taylor and Adrian Peterson. Ten minutes before gametime the espn guys took their picks on who was going to win the game. The Vikings recieved all but six votes; seven people had voted. So if you could do some rocket science here that left us with a grand total of one vote. Well as the bible says, "the first shall be last and the last shall be first", I doubt anyone had a ton of faith that the Vikes would win the game. But anyways, four minutes into the game Drew Brees rifled a pass to wide reciever Deverie Henderson in the endzone to put the saints up on the board. It seemed that all hope was lost until at about six minutes left in the first quarter Antoine Winfield shows gave some light to what seemed to be a dark turn out. As the Vikings defensive line got their hands up and blocked the field goal attempt the ball flew backwards right into the hands of Winfield to give the Vikings their first score of the game. But neither the Vikings nor Winfield was about to let down now.
The second quarter had just started and the saints had the ball. Brees dropped back into the pocket but Winfield had his number ever since the snap, Antoine bolted outside the saints tight end coming around and pummeling Brees. You can call what happened next luck but I think the football gods were watching down on Antoine that day because when he sacked Brees the ball just sorta rolled right into the hands of Winfield once again. Winfields big play lead to another score for the Vikings putting them on the board once again. The rest of the Second quarter just resulted in big play after big play. From Chad Greenways missed facemask call on Reggie Bush resulting in a turnover, to Ben Lebers amazing interception. The Vikings definitly had the upperhand going into the second half.
But not all hope was lost for the saints, it was demonstrated with three minutes left in the third quarter. Reggie Bush was back for the punt return, he recieved the ball and just booked it down the field dodging everything the Vikings put out for him, Bush hit a top speed of TWENTY ONE MILES PER HOUR, it was olympic like speeds. And just like that the saints were back in it.
The fourth quarter came with many surprises and poor play calling. The Vikings were forced to punt once again with Reggie once again back to recieve it. Now this is where the poor play calling comes in. What Childress should have had Longwell do is just boot the ball as far as humanly possible and give the saints a touchback, but no they decided to kick it right into the hands of Bush, and boy did he capitalize on it. Bush litterally jumped through and over defenders to plow his way to another SIXTY FOUR YARD TD! He became the first guy since nineteen eighty four to have two punt returns in the same game. This punched a huge hole into the Vikings level of moral. But they werent about to give up yet.
With seven minutes left to play in the game Feorotte dropped back and launched one down the field to what at first appeared to be an incomplete pass, but Bernard Berrian somehow worked some magic and came up with the ball for a score to tie the game at twenty seven a piece. Then with a missed field goal by the saints the Vikings had one last shot to give it all they had to try and get a huge "W" on the board. After a huge mistake on the saints part by recieving a pass interference penalty on Bernard Berrian the Vikes saw the opportunity to prove everyone wrong. Longwell got the snap and kicked the field goal to score the final points of the game, a huge win for the Vikings.
