The Vikings defeated the Saints twice last season, once in the regular season and once in the Divisional Round on a 61-yard TD catch by Stefon Diggs as time expired. Minnesota is 14-3 all-time against New Orleans at home (regular season and playoffs), its fourth-best mark vs. any opponent (min. 5 games).

The Saints won in Baltimore, 24-23, their fifth win in a row after starting the season 0-1. New Orleans has averaged 33.3 points on the road this season, second only to Kansas City (36.8).

The Vikings won their third game in a row by beating the Jets, 37-17, at MetLife Stadium. Minnesota had four takeaways in the win and has gone 4-0 when recording at least one takeaway this season, compared to 0-2-1 when forcing zero turnovers.

Drew Brees threw his 500th and 501st touchdown passes in the win over Baltimore, the fourth quarterback to eclipse the 500 mark (P. Manning, Favre and Brady). Brees has yet not thrown an INT this season in 220 attempts, his second-longest streak without an interception in a season (2011: 232 attempts).

Kirk Cousins threw for 241 yards with two TDs and no interceptions against the Jets. Through seven starts with Minnesota, he has thrown just three INTs on 300 attempts (1.0 percent), fifth lowest in the league among qualifying QBs. Cousins has never finished a season with an interception rate lower than 2.0.

New Orleans' offense has allowed just nine sacks this season -- tied for second fewest in the league -- and just one to NFL sack leader Baltimore last week. Meanwhile, Minnesota's defense has racked up 21 sacks -- tied for fourth most -- with three or more sacks in six of seven games this season.
