The Minnesota Vikings have taken a commanding 17-0 lead on the New Orleans Saints, early in the second quarter of their divisional round.

Latavius Murray powered the ball in from the 1-yard line, after a pass interference call on Saints safety Marcus Williams against wide receiver Stefon Diggs gave the Vikings first-and-goal.

Andrew Sendejo's diving interception of a long pass by Drew Brees gave the Vikings the ball back near midfield before the end of the first quarter to set up their second touchdown drive. Brees and the Saints are also 0 for 3 on third down conversions against the NFL's top-ranked defense.
