Drew Brees completed 27 of 36 for 237 yards and 1 touchdown while Brett Favre went 15 for 27, 171 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception as the New Orleans Saints got past the Minnesota Vikings 14-9 in New Orleans.

Not very exciting for the Saints home opener, but they got the job done by erasing a Viking 9-7 halftime lead on their first drive in the third quarter.

After that it was all defense.
