- Minnesota Vikings 28-25 New Orleans Saints
- New Orleans were leading with nine minutes left
The NFL waltzed back into London on its yearly sojourn with a purple and gold swagger as the Minnesota Vikings edged a nerve-shredding encounter 28-25 over the New Orleans Saints thanks to a dynamite offensive display from Justin Jefferson and the trusty boot of Greg Joseph.
The receiver’s electric pace set up the winning field goal for Joseph as the Vikings move to 3-1 and top of the NFC North, with a firm eye on the playoffs, while New Orleans sink to 1-3 and last in the NFC South as they wonder what could have been. Wil Lutz’s last-second monster 65-yard field goal attempt teased overtime but finally spelled defeat as the ball bounced off the left upright then spun across the crossbar before falling the wrong side of the posts.
