Vikings to play Saints in London
The Vikings will officially take another trip across the pond in 2022. This marks the Vikings game in London, for which they are 2-0, although their first game against New Orleans. While it should be an interesting game against two teams familiar with each other but both undergoing many staffing changes, let’s take a look at how our favorite team has faired in both of their previous trips.
2017: Vikings 33 Browns 16
The year of Case Keemun was off to a great start, with the 5-2 Vikings taking on the 0-7 Browns. Minnesota played well on both sides of the ball, with Keenum going for 288 yards and 2 TDs, Thielen getting 5 catches for 98 yards and 1 TD. I’m sure we all remember beating the Saints in the Minneapolis Miracle before getting whooped by the Eagles in the NFC Championship.
2013: Vikings 34 Steelers 27
Reining MVP Adrian and the Vikings rolled to town to take on Pittsburg. All Day ran over the Pittsburg defense for 140 yards and 2 TDs, overcoming Roethlisberger’s 383 yards and all the Big Ben jokes/references. This season ultimately ended the season with a 5-10-1 record, leading to the dismissal of HC Leslie Frazier and beginning of the Mike Zimmer era.
The rest of the NFL schedule will be released on May 12th at 8pm ET.
