  "account": "Justin Jefferson returned to Minnesota's lineup and scored a leaping touchdown, while Aaron Jones recovered an early fumble to score a pivotal fourth-quarter touchdown. The Vikings secured a 23-13 victory over the slumping New Orleans Saints at the Superdome. Justin Jefferson caught six passes for 79 yards, as Kyler Murray threw for 229 yards and a touchdown without a turnover, and rushed for an additional 51 yards. Justin Jefferson's performance marked his return to action following a Week 4 ankle injury. The Vikings, who had allowed an NFL-low 12.8 points per game, managed to keep New Orleans' offense in check, only allowing one offensive touchdown and limiting New Orleans to 142 total yards. Safety Jonas Sanker returned a fumble 87 yards, giving the Saints a touchdown, but Minnesota's defense held firm. The Saints' quarterback, Tyler Shough, was intercepted twice and recorded 96 yards passing. New Orleans also suffered a fumble loss when returner Jayden Price was stripped on the kickoff. Minnesota's Myles Price fumbled the ball back to New Orleans, tying the game at 13. The Vikings capitalized on their second turnover, with Justin Jefferson finishing off the scoring with a 15-yard touchdown pass from Kyler Murray. Tyler Shough's interceptions and Minnesota's defensive stand proved crucial in Minnesota's unbeaten season.",
