So yesterday, after seeing my team blow a big lead, fall behind, squeak ahead, screw up again and find themselves down 24-23 with 10 seconds left, no time outs and 60 yards between them and the goal line, my heart was in my shoes. My thumb was on the remote, ready to turn that sucker off the second it was over and let the grieving begin. And then - you know what happened. Keenum threw that last gasp pass to Diggs, who turned on a dime and raced into the end zone.
I was stunned, and six hours later it hasn't worn off. I'm having a hard time believing what I saw. Luckily, I recorded the game, so I can check again today. Damn, I hope it comes out the same.

As a long time Vikings fan, my phone monitors Vikings news so I got a highlight video posted to me. Started being a fan back in the 60's
Same here. The Vikings and Twins got into my blood when we moved to Minnesota in 1961.
I, on the other hand, was heart broken
The Vikes can thank the world's worst defensive back for missing a simple tackle and allowing the receiver to trot to the end zone.
Has Marcus Williams been murdered yet?
He should be.
Nah. I'd like to buy him a beer.
The first professional football game I went to was the Vikings hosting the Eagles in the early sixties!
You were in Minnesota? My first (and only) was the Vikings and Colts circa 1962.
I lived in Duluth from 2/60 to 4/65.
