If Bridgewater starts that Vikings game w/ Hill doing the same gadget stuff he was doing, the Saints win that game. The biggest problem NOLA had at the end was Drew Brees.

The Vikings had the 5th ranked D, even with their corners in steep decline. Their linebackers, edge rush, and safeties are as good as their is in the league. You don't beat them with trick plays.
