LOUISIANA (KLFY) — The New Orleans Saints fall to 5-5 on the season after losing to the Minnesota Vikings 27-19.

With a close win at home last week against the Chicago Bears, the Saint will looked to add a third straight win to the their record.

In a first half that saw very little production from the Saints, and trailed the Vikings 24-3 at halftime. The Saints managed to have a better offensive output in the second half but was not enough to overcome the deficit.

Saints quarterback Derek Carr was ruled out for the game after a shoulder injury and concussion evaluation in the third quarter. Wider receiver Michael Thomas was also ruled out with a knee injury.

The Saints travel to Atlanta after a bye week next week to take on the Falcons.
