Yeah right. Saints offense must have suddenly fallen apart in the 4th. OK.

The bottom line is that, IMHO, the Vikes scored those last points solely to make a statement. That statement was, “Fuck you, Dallas.” That’s poor sportsmanship, and the Vikes should have taken a different option. Brooking was justified in voicing his complaint at the poor sportsmanship. That’s all there is to it, really. I agree with Terry Bradshaw on this point.
