The New Orleans Times-Picayune perfectly encapsulated the feeling of every Saints fan with their front page on Monday following a heartbreaking loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night.
“EXPLETIVE. EXPLETIVE. EXPLETIVE,” the front page read with the photo of Stefon Diggs 61-yard game-clinching touchdown that ended the Saints’ playoff hopes. (RELATED: The Vikings Had One Of The Best Endings To A Super Bowl We’ve Ever Seen)

As for which expletive those are, the New Orleans Times-Picayune let readers take their pick, but I can think of several four-letter words flying out of Saints fans’ mouths at that exact moment.

No matter who you were pulling for in the epic matchup between the Saints and the Vikings, it was a playoff game for the ages and entertaining all the way through until the last second.
Of course, Drew Brees and the Saints wish they had come out on top though. Leave it to the local New Orleans paper to deliver a perfect response to a hometown heartbreak.
