The Vikings regained the lead after a 28-yard field goal by Joseph with just over a minute left in the half.

The Sporting News tracked live scores, updates and highlights from the Vikings-Saints game in London.

10:41 a.m.: And now Cousins finds Jefferson — who cooked Lattimore — for a gain of 13 yards to the 30-yard line. New Orleans answers the Vikings with a 5-yard touchdown to the rookie Olave. Vikings punt goes for 33 yards to the Saints' 12-yard line. Nice patience by the receiver and Dalton to let the defenders clear out to give the receiver space for the catch. 10:35 a.m.: Dalton looks to call a screen at the line but it's sniffed out as Jarvis Landry is hit for only a yard gain on third-and-3. He plays it safe on the ensuing play for a 7-yard dump-off to Ingram to bring up fourth-and-7. Minnesota has it at the New Orleans 20 with less than a minute in the half. That brings the score to 16-14 Minnesota with 3:49 left in the third quarter. 11:56 a.m.: Dalton finds tight end Adam Trautman in the flat for an 11-yard gain down to the 2-yard line. 12:01 p.m.: Vikings face third-and-3 from their own 32, and Cousins finds Jefferson for a 3-yard gain to the 35. Two plays later, Dalton rips it to Trautman for a 14-yard gain to the Minnesota 43-yard line. New Orleans makes it a three-point game as Dalton finds Landry late — but all alone — in the flats for a successful conversion.

Greg Joseph was the matchwinner with five field goals and 16 points as Minnesota Vikings edged past New Orleans Saints 28-25 in London.

Neither team showed the razzle-dazzle of a Super Bowl contender but the International Series comes to London for a good time not the grit and grind of playoff football and long may it continue. Latavius Murray and Taysom Hill notched goalline rushing touchdowns to give the Saints hope of an unlikely win from smooth Dalton drives downfield and alarmingly for Minnesota they could only answer through the boot of Joseph. Dalton capitalised on the favourable field position and made it count by levelling the score with a four-yard pass to Chris Olave as nine minutes remained in the half.

Minnesota escaped from London with a win over New Orleans but the inconsistency continued on offense and defense.

As wild as the double-doink ending was, the win does not mask the continued issues of a Minnesota team seeking growth, especially against a team without its starting quarterback ( [Minnesota Vikings](https://theathletic.com/nfl/team/vikings/) needed the football to sail beneath the bar or outside the upright. It clanked tantalizingly off the left upright, off the underneath crossbar, all the while turning over and over, before dropping to the ground.

That set the tone for a year in which the Vikings finished a game under .500 because they went 6-8 in an NFL-record tying 14 one-score games. A comment lament ...

But ultimately what I’m going to continue to challenge the group is just understanding that our consistency of being the best possible football team as we progress is going to be key for our season because we can definitely get a lot better.” Cousins found wide receiver Justin Jefferson on a near perfectly thrown 39-yard pass to the Saints’ 29 on the second play of the drive, setting up what proved to be the winning field goal. The defense continues to struggle to get pressure on the quarterback, in this case the not exactly mobile Andy Dalton, and has given up more than 100 yards on the ground in each game. On both sides of the ball.” A week ago, the Vikings rallied for a four-point victory over the Lions on K.J. The Vikings will have plenty to clean up as they prepare to face the Chicago Bears on Sunday at U.S. “We rely a lot on our leadership, we rely a lot on guys to make plays in big moments. That kept the Vikings lead at three and the Saints tied the score on Lutz’s 60-yard kick. “I’m just extremely proud of the guys, how they continue to fight, continue to lean on one another and never flinch. Lutz had made a 60-yarder on the Saints’ previous possession, so there was definitely some luck involved for the Vikings. “We’re just happy to be in a position to finish games now versus getting back on the plane with an L,” veteran cornerback Patrick Peterson said. That didn’t just put the Vikings at the bottom of the NFL for the season, it placed them 686 out of 686 teams since at least 2000.

NFL fans across the pond in London, England were treated to a great game on Sunday between the New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings.

That’s a treacherous stretch to walk into a 1-4 with a loss to one of the league’s most questionable rosters. It wouldn’t be the first time the Saints have gotten a look at an alternative option when they feel they need more from a position. By the time the Saints offense was clicking a bit more in the fourth quarter, the defense looked tired. So keeping focus is the right thing for the team, but things will have to shape up quickly to avoid further complications with a challenging stretch on the horizon. Whether its a stammering offense, inefficient play on special teams or key explosive plays given up on defense, the Saints are struggling to piece it all together. But New Orleans still has a lot to prove after a disappointing start of the season so far. We saw the New Orleans defense respond well when their offense stayed on the field and led longer drives, if the team wants to win more games this season, this will be a necessity. That’s a 12-point swing forced by Demario Davis and the Saints defensive unit. In a game in which the Saints finally got some rushing attempts going in the fourth quarter, Murray was their best option. Murray was stood up at the goal line, but fought through the defenders and stretched out to break the plane. He doesn’t seem to be slowing down, but a late ankle injury may be something to watch throughout the practice week. However, Saints fans were displeased after the team dropped its third-straight game and fell to 1-3 on the season.

Minnesota running back Alexander Mattison had a familiar touchdown dance against the Saints on Sunday.
