Recap: New Orleans vs. Minnesota
By Sports Network
New Orleans, LA (Sports Network) - Ryan Longwell made all three of his field goal attempts, including the game-winning 30-yard boot with 13 seconds left as the Minnesota Vikings came away with a 30-27 decision against the New Orleans Saints at the Superdome.
Gus Frerotte played mistake-free football, completing 19-of-36 for 222 yards and a touchdown for Minnesota (2-3), which was coming off a debilitating 30-17 loss in Tennessee last week. Adrian Peterson found it tough running against a porous Saints defense, carrying the ball 21 times for a mere 32 yards.
Bernard Berrian hauled in six balls for 110 yards and a touchdown, while inducing a key pass interference penalty to set up the game-winning kick.
Antoine Winfield keyed the defensive effort with a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown, to go along with a sack and a forced fumble and recovery.
Reggie Bush became the 12th player in NFL history to return two punts for touchdowns, in addition to 64 yards receiving on seven receptions for New Orleans, which has dropped three of four to fall into last place in the NFC South.
Drew Brees connected on 26-of-46 for 330 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, while Devery Henderson caught four balls for a team-high 104 yards and a score for the Saints, who were done in by four turnovers and two missed field goals by Martin Gramatica.
