The Saints didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Paulson Adebo and Marcus Maye.
Meanwhile, Minnesota waltzed into Sunday's match with three straight wins but they left with four. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 31-28 victory over the Falcons.
The Vikings can attribute much of their success to Joshua Dobbs, who threw for 158 yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
One of those touchdowns was the difference in the game. The Vikings were down by four with only two minutes and eight seconds left when they drove 75 yards for the winning score. Dobbs hit Brandon Powell from six yards out and that was all she wrote.
