The Minnesota Vikings will attempt to slow down the New Orleans Saints' passing game with a cornerback duo of Asher Allen and Benny Sapp. Former starter Cedric Griffin has been benched, and it's not clear what role he'll play Sunday. The Vikings' pass defense hasn't been good this season. They haven't intercepted a pass in eight games, tying an NFL record. Griffin has struggled to return from his second torn anterior cruciate ligament.
