And we're off in the second half. Drew Brees will get the ball back for the New Orleans Saints.

Twelve wild-card teams have advanced to the Super Bowl since 1990-91, with eight of them bringing home the Lombardi Trophy.

So yes.

If the Vikings can hang on and win this it would be quite the play-off shock. It's going to go right to the wire!

That was Osi's pre-match prediction but he Vikings's defence has been excellent thus far.

Minnesota were very strong in their secondary over the last couple of years. This year not so much.

Going up against the aerial attack that is Drew Brees and the best receiver in football at this particular moment. They're going to be in big trouble in this game.

That huge Taysom Hill pass had just a 27% chance of working out...

The Saints will be kicking themselves. They had a chance to level it up at the half but trail by three points after that Drew Brees interception and the missed field goal.

Michael Thomas dives low to take a 20-yard pass from Drew Brees and get the Saints within field-goal range.

Wil Lutz steps up but sends his 43-yard effort wide. He'd made his last 19 field goals.

Deonte Harris, who took that 50-yard pass by Taysom Hill, pulls off another great play, returning the punt for a whopping 54 yards.

Kirk Cousins fails to find Kyle Rudolph but from the next play he hands it to Dalvin Cook, who sidesteps into the endzone untouched. Dan Bailey adds the extra point.

Kirk Cousins hits Adam Thielen again for another 13. It's 1st&Goal.

Can the Vikings snatch the lead before the half?

Kirk Cousins finds Adam Thielen down the middle for 19 yards. They're up to the Saints' 24-yard line.

Oh no. Two plays later Drew Brees goes deep, trying to find Ted Ginn when he's got two men on him. Vikings safety Anthony Harris reaches back to make the interception then swiftly gets back to his feet and runs it back 30 yards, just into New Orleans territory.

That pass probably wasn't on. Uncharacteristic error by Drew Brees.

Drew Brees has 2:49 to steer the Saints to another score before the half, and Tre'Quan Smith just fails to hang on to a pass down the middle. Possibly a little underthrown.

They have to kick it and Dan Bailey slaps it through. The visitors will think they should have scored from that position though.

Great stop! The Vikings toss it to Dalvin Cook, you're thinking TD time but Demario Davis makes a massive smothering tackle to drive him back.

Field goal time.

The Vikings need to score from this position. Kirk Cousins with the play action, he loops a pass into the end zone - too high.

People who complain that there are too many stoppages in NFL sometimes have a point. There's a very long delay as a camera has stopped working, Killed the Vikings' momentum a tad.

Now ther's an injury as Kiko Alonso goes down.

Rakesh Pradhan: Is there anything Taysom Hill cant do ? He can probably kick field goals as well if he wanted to.

Dalvin Cook gallops down the right and gets the Vikings to 1st&goal territory...
