The Saints got the ball first in the second half and had 6 possessions to the Vikings 5 (I’m not counting a kneel down in the closing few seconds by Cousins) Also the Vikings forced the Saints to kill the clock 2 times with TO’s towards the end of the game (4QTR  5:45 and 2:54) while the Vikings possessed it, that alone chipped conservatively :35+:35 sec or 1:10 total in itself.So the reality is the Saints would’ve had the ball just :21 sec more in a half where they possessed it first (6 possessions to 5). Saying the Saints owned the clock in the second half is splitting hairs when we’re talking :21 seconds and they got it first.</blockquote>
