The NFL's Week 4 game in London is over. The Minnesota Vikings defeated the New Orleans Saints 28-25. With the victory, the Vikings improved to 3-1 while the Saints fell to 1-3 on the season.
The game will be remembered for the upright-and-crossbar field-goal miss on the final play. During the final drive, New Orleans had first-and-ten from the Minnesota 43. However, Andy Dalton, who was playing in place of Jameis Winston, was unable to connect on two passing attempts. That forced the Saints to attempt a 61-yarder which hit the upright and then the crossbar as time expired. The miss preserved Minnesota's 3 -point lead.
Dalton did not play poorly in the game. He finished with a 108.6 passer rating in the contest on 20 for 28 passing. For the Vikings, Justin Jefferson had a great game. He received for 147 yards on 10 for 13 targets. It was his first 100+ receiving game since Week 1 of the season.
