Saints vs. Vikings: Score, results, highlights from Sunday night game image

The Saints moved to 6-1 on the season with a 30-20 win over the Vikings, who dropped to 4-3-1 after "Sunday Night Football" in Week 8. The game was a highly anticipated rematch of last year's divisional playoff matchup that ended with Minnesota wide receiver Stefon Diggs' miracle touchdown.

New Orleans came to U.S. Bank Stadium and took revenge, or at least a small serving of it. The Saints needed a win to maintain first place in the NFC South, still ahead of the Panthers, who also won in Week 8.
