Athletes react to Vikings win exactly the way we would expect
The Minnesota Vikings pulled off one of the all-time shockers against New Orleans in their divisional round playoff game Sunday. Down 24-23 with just 25 seconds left – with just one timeout on their own 20-yard line – Case Keenum and company almost seemed resigned to the fact their season was about to end. But lightning struck in the form of an improbable 61-yard, walk-off touchdown pass to Stefon Diggs. 29-24 Vikings.
Twitter nearly broke, and the influx of athlete’s reactions to the miraculous ending was pretty cool. Here is an assortment of the best we could find.
