Passage: With their Super Bowl title to defend, the Saints began their season at home in the annual Kickoff Game against the Minnesota Vikings, in a rematch of last season's NFC Championship Game.  New Orleans would strike first in the opening quarter with quarterback Drew Brees hooking up with wide receiver Devery Henderson on a 29-yard touchdown pass.  The Vikings would take the lead in the second quarter as kicker Ryan Longwell made a 41-yard field goal, followed by quarterback Brett Favre's 20-yard touchdown pass to tight end Visanthe Shiancoe (with a blocked PAT). In the third quarter, the Saints would regain the lead with a 1-yard touchdown run from running back Pierre Thomas.  From there, New Orleans' defense would prevent any further progress from Minnesota.
How many field goals of at least 40 yards were made? Which QB had more passing touchdowns? Which player had the shortest touchdown play? Which player scored the last touchdown of the game? Who caught the first touchdown of the game? Who scored the first touchdown for the Saints? Who threw the longest touchdown pass?
