The previous two playoff runs ended in brutal fashion for the Black & Gold, but the “Minnesota Miracle” and the “NOLA No Call” don’t define who the 2020 Saints are.  Players who were a part of the 2017 team that suffered the last second loss to the Vikings aren’t focused on the past, only what they can accomplish this season.

The Saints are 7.5 point home favorites for their Wild Card weekend match-up against the Vikings. Listen to the Voice of the Saints Zach Strief and color analyst Deuce McAllister's call of the game starting at noon Sunday on WWL Saints radio.
