The Minnesota Vikings are bound for the NFC championship game after beating the New Orleans Saints in a game for the ages.

All hope seemed absolutely lost before quarterback Case Keenum threw a 61-yard touchdown pass to Stefon Diggs as the final seconds ticked away.

It was one of the craziest endings you’re ever going to see in sports.

This is why we love football. Literally anything can happen. It looked like the Vikings were absolutely toast, and next thing we know they’re moving forward to the NFC championship game.

What an incredible ride it’s been watching the Vikings play. Keenum has been dragged by the media for years, and now he’s a game away from the Super Bowl. It really doesn’t get much better than that.

We should all consider ourselves lucky that we got to witness what happened last night. I know people are focusing on the blown tackle, but we really should be focusing on the offense making a big play. I talked to somebody who is a football insider, and he was not pleased at all with the effort given by the defense. I had to disagree. The offense just made a play, and the defense didn’t. That happens in football. Big plays is why we love the sport. Now we get a Nick Foles/Case Keenum NFC title game for a ticket to the Super Bowl. I want your lottery numbers if you predicted this to happen before the season started.

Also, the ending is even better when put to the music from “Titanic.”
