That may have been one of the best NFL finishes of all time

Holy moly! Keenum to Diggs. Vikes TD scored as time on the clock elapsed to win the game.

Incredible. Just incredible!

3. Im glad the Vikings won!

Hubby went to friends house who is a big Vikings fan. His friend is probably buying the airplane ticket to be there with his friends to watch game and celebrate if they win.

7. I lurked on

the Saints' SBnation blog (Canal Street Chronicles), and a few of the regulars there have the idea that Williams might have intentionally missed the tackle. As someone with no dog in the fight, I'm happy for the Vikings, and that it is now a certainty that we'll have at least one team appear in the "Owl" that had never won before.

P.S. I also think it's a dumb rule to force the teams to run the PAT play following the game-winning TD. It's not as if the PAT would change the game result. It should be treated like a walk-off HR in baseball.

9. Agree with you that the PAT being mandatory at that point is unnecessary

The league should address that silly rule during the off-season.

The idea that Williams deliberately missed the tackle strikes me as highly unlikely. You?

11. It sounds beyond

insane, especially considering that he is a rookie and would be risking his career to throw a game.

10. Vikings were favored by 5 1/2 points as of yesterday

that PAT was huge if you took Minnesota to cover. I can just imagine the expletives ...

13. ...and still have to make three outs

14. I agree with Payton; it was a timing issue.

1. He was trying to place the tackle to keep Diggs inbounds.
2. He got there early and had to hold up to not get the PI.

Those two things combined to make that a non-tackle.

That said, that rookie is going to have a long off-season to think about that play. I feel badly for him. Not too badly as I'm a Vikes fan, but that's a tough way to end the game.

8. Saints blew it big time!

All they had to do was let the Vikings player catch the throw and tackle him to end the play. Time would expire and Saints win. Instead the Vikings player tried to intercept! Poor coaching!!!!

12. Will Go Down As One Of The Best Epic Moments In Playoff History ....

15. As a Vikings fan for about 50 years,

I'm still processing that it wasn't the Vikings that choked in a playoff game.
