The Minneapolis Miracle was one of the most heartbreaking moments in New Orleans Saints postseason history, to go along with plenty of other close losses.
Most New Orleans Saints’ fans will never hear the end of the Minneapolis Miracle any time the two teams match up, especially those with friends who are Minnesota fans. New Orleans can rewrite history in this matchup.
