Monday Night Football

On Monday night the viks played my favorite player’s team, the saints. Throughout the course of this game it was a battle and an amazing one at the. Reggie Bush had 2 punt returns for a touchdown and should have had three but it was called back. He also had about 300 all-purpose yards. The game stayed close up until the end of the second when the saints started to pull away with the 2 Bush punt returns. At half time the saints were ahead, but out of the locker room the viks came firing. In the third quarter the Vikings came out passing and they succeeded at it. Gus Ferotte the Vikings starting quarterback threw one long bomb to Bernard Berrian for a touchdown, this pulling the viks within 6 points of the saints. On the next Vikings possession Ferotte lead the Viks down the field for a field goal and another on the next possession. So, with about a minute and a half left in the forth quarter the viks had a chance to win. With good field position Ferotte started the viks off good with a completion of about 20. On the next play he went for the bomb to Berrian and a flag was thrown. It was for defensive pass interference. The Vikings had the ball at the Saints 20 with about 30 seconds left. They brought out Ryan Longwell for a 47 yarder to try and win the game. He made it and the Viks won in a thrilling fashion.
