Sometimes all you remember is the end. And a great ending can wash away the sins that have come before.
It’s not that the first three quarters of the NFL’s latest London encounter between the New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings were particularly bad, they were just unmemorable. Yet if the first 75 per cent was unspectacular, the final 25 per cent more than made up for it, as the most engrossing of fourth quarters in which momentum careered back and forth ended with the Vikings somehow holding on to triumph 28-25.
