Vikings Secure Victory Despite Gilmore Injury

The Minnesota Vikings faced the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13, overcoming a struggling start to secure a narrow 23-22 victory. Cornerback Stephon Gilmore left the game with a hamstring injury in the first half, prompting concern about his availability for future games, although head coach Kevin O'Connell expressed hope that it isn't serious. In Gilmore's absence, backup Fabien Moreau struggled, giving up a touchdown and committing two pass interference penalties. Despite the challenges, the Vikings' defense held strong in the final minutes, with Shaq Griffin clinching the win with an interception. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints' Nick Saldiveri is questionable to return after a knee injury, while Seattle Seahawks punter Michael Dickson is also questionable due to a back injury sustained during their game against the New York Jets.
