It took a miracle of epic proportions, but the Minnesota Vikings are advancing to the NFL’s version of the Final Four, with their dramatic and improbable 29-24 victory over the New Orleans Saints. The Vikings’ Defense, led by Bruin Linebackers Anthony Barr and Eric Kendricks, totally dominated the Saints in the first half, taking a 17-0 lead into Halftime. Late in the first half, the Saints’ QB Drew Brees was driving the team down the field looking for a crucial score, but Barr snagged a tipped pass for an Interception that killed the drive. Ironically, the ball was tipped by the Vikings’ lone ex-trojan, Everson Griffen.
