Vikes survive wacky game with much-needed victory

By DAVE CAMPBELL

AP Sports Writer

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — For the Minnesota Vikings, victory was still satisfying — no matter how wacky or lucky it was.

Escape from devastating defeat on a night when the Saints did everything they could to give the game away showed, in a strange way, a certain resiliency that could serve the Vikings well the rest of the season.

‘‘You have to hang in there,’’ center Matt Birk said Tuesday, reflecting on the 30-27 win over New Orleans. ‘‘It’s good to beat a good team on the road to get the win and bounce back like that. There’s plenty of adversity. They made some fantastic plays, obviously, but to be able to have that resolve and win it in the end? That’s huge. Hopefully we’ll continue to do that.
