New Orleans (+5) at Minnesota (1-15-18)

[2006Coltsbestever]

Congrats NFLfan for now your Final 4 appearance

[DraftMaster]

Vikings save the choke! Great game by Brees, gotta give credit to New Orleans.

[Happy2BeHere]

Wow what a last minute dramatic turn of events. Amazing game!!

[Smoke317]

That play will go down in history if the Vikes can complete the journey with a SB win.

[coltsfan77]

Good friend of mine, long time vike fan, made the trip from NC to the game! Congrats and happy for him!

[IcEWoLF]

Choke hahaha! Saints omg!!! That guy is gonna get cut before they hit the locker room! They had one job and they screwed up royally omegalol!!!!

[oldunclemark]

That is a miracle finish.....and Case made the only throw that possibly could have worked..

How did they let that happen???

Reminds me of Peytons loss to Ravens in 2012. Horrible way to lose....one guy makes the worst play at the worst time. Feel for Brees because he might not get another shot at a SB like it was lining up for him this year.

 

 

[snkdy]

Look at that crowd. Y’all better beat Philly  

[aaron11]

couldnt they have snapped it with no defense out there, whats the hold up

Not a choke if you lose a 1 point lead.

Wow, I would have loved that. My cousin's wife works for Twin Cities Orthopedics. She put in her name for tickets just for me. She did not win but I would have gone if I got tickets. (I live in NY)

I don't think she is a brother

[PeterBowman]

Could the NFL finally have a host city's team in the Super Bowl?

[Smoke317]

I havent watched the Vikes much this year but Keenum throws a lot of balls falling backwards and up for grabs.  Has he done that all year???  He’s gotta get that in check.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Once I said Minnesota had it won up 17-0, I needed this for many reasons. Never worried as my man Keenum had Diggs on a Corner Route. Just another day in the office.

[Buddy Lee]

Well I predicted every single minute. But I won't take any credit. Very Crazy.

Good call.

Completely unaware of the situation . Like Aikman said it looked like he was trying to hold up to avoid a PI. 

[dgambill]

One thing is for sure...that never happens to NE...only 31 other teams. It was a great throw and catch....and might have got a fg anyways.

[oldunclemark]

did they ever kick the point..?

Not to be mercenary...but the spread was +5

No worries. I love the folks here. Many thought I was a guy. Nothing wrong with that. Thanks again.

He does that a lot...........a little Jay Cutler in him..but he's simply gotten better at it

You can eat and drink now. I am like that when the Colts or Cubs play in huge games. I cant eat until the game is over. If we end up winning the party begins. That is one of the best wins in Minny history. Gets you to the Final 4.

It would make sense.  Not many would want to go up to FRIGID Minnesota for a Super Bowl.  But you better believe the Vikes fans will be running through the streets regardless of the temperature. I think it makes great financial sense to have the Vikes in the SB.

True.  Push better than a loss.  That’ll definitely be on Scott Van Pelt’s Bad Beats tonight or tomorrow though.

He does.  Keenum throws those types of passes and the receivers have bailed him out all year. Many fans who are concerned about his accuracy wanted Sam Bradford or Teddy to play in place of Keenum. Both are more accurate than Keenum but Keenum has that killer instinct which Bradford certainly does not have.
