With Minnesota methodically marching down the field toward the end of the second quarter, it seemed inevitable that they would find themselves in the end zone to tie things up at 10-10. While they would actually find themselves ahead 13-10 later on, Saints star linebacker Demario Davis showed up BIG time down in the red zone to deny the Vikings a touchdown on this earlier drive. Check out Davis' dazzling effort to prevent Dalvin Cook from hitting the edge on 3rd and Goal.

As good as Cook is -- and he's one of the best RBs the NFL has to offer -- he stood absolutely no chance at escaping Davis' clutches here.

Given the defensive chess match this game has surprisingly turned out to be, this play could prove to be crucial down the stretch.
