It was a done deal ...

With under six minutes in the fourth quarter, Hill took a carry for a 9-yard gain to the New Orleans 47 on a third-and-1 to keep a drive alive. Two plays later, facing a second-and-5 at the Minnesota 48, Hill took the snap left and broke through a pair of tackles before rattling off a bruising 28-yard run to the Minnesota 20.

THEN

On the next play, Brees had the ball stripped by Danielle Hunter and the Vikings recovered to end the scoring threat and maintain Minnesota’s 20-17 lead.

Brees was horrible against Tampa Bay in his last game. Why wasn't Jameis Winston not given more snaps?

I think Sean was trying to let Brees go out on his own terms.

And nothing I have seen from Tayson makes me feel better about him being in there. He could move better but not a great passer.
