That's how you play football. They came to win....unlike my stupid team. Ugh Steelers really?! They clearly had no desire to win today.
Anyway good luck Vikings. Congratulations,great game. I hope you take it all the way.

That was exciting! My Panthers have been out, so I don't have a team left- but that was fun!

That was a great game! Crazy stuff!
My team didn't even make the playoffs this year (for the first time in many years) and it's kind of fun watching these games with no big emotional attachment. Way less stressful. LOL

My husband was an absolute wreck during those last few minutes. I know so many people who were at that game today - as a fan in the stands it doesn't get better than that. This is fun!

What was the chant at the end?? When they clapped their hands above their heads?? Amazing ending. Is it true that not one Vikings player knelt all year during the anthem??

As a Packer Fan it is agains every fiber of my being to root for the Vikings. However Dh was for the division and I was rooting for the Saints, We like most of the Saints, especially Taysom Hill rookie, who's special teams but QB soon. Those kind of endings are painful but they both played amazing games! Thrilling last few mins.. but Dh reminded me that's why we love it! I'm a little relieved the Pack aren't in it. I'm also happy Keenum, He's earned it! Not a fan of some of the Vikings players.

christine58 According to my 15-year-old sports nut Vikings fan son, not one of our players took a knee during the anthem.

MN born and bred. And in my true MN fashion, never dreamed they would win. The MN jinx...the curse, etc. It was truly a HOLY SHIT! game though. Not a fan of some of the Vikings players. Curious what players? Because these are truly, just a bunch of football players. Not one big star. No Cam Netwon, Aaron Rodgers, or Tom Brady. Our quarterback is the 3rd string.

Not saying it about the QB he played his heart out all season.. I can not like them I think Diggs is a little bit over the top (not just this game) I'm not going to name them all for you I just have different feelings about them..I'm a Packer fan I'm supposed to!

I'll give them all the credit and like I said I do hope they go to the SuperBowl and beat the Patriots!

I have great respect for the game the Saints played, the Vikings scored most of their points early and then the Saints rebounded with skill and heart - they almost had it. Save

I was banished from going downstairs since the two times I went down there, the saints scored just as I entered the room. Lol. So it’s a good thing the Vikings won, otherwise I’m sure one of the kids would have said it was my fault. The kids were so excited! Even DH, who is generally a giants fan, was screaming!

The last quarter was so good it kept the interest of a complete ignoramus. DH and I popped into a sports bar on the way back to our hotel. The fans were all in purple (a couple in gold) and we could see it was on most of the screens.
I confess that as I have never been to Minnesota and We loved New Orleans, I was happy when they briefly went ahead after the field goal. But that last move leading to the guy (Diggs?) triumphaly strutting the last few yards were electrifying.
Your fellow fans were very happy, quite inebriated and will assuredly have sore throats in the morning. Good luck next Sunday, is it then?

DH enjoys the playoffs more than the regular season no matter who is in it. We watched the end of the game and both of us were going "holy shit!" I was so engrossed with my cross stitch during the last couple minutes that I didn't realize that the last play was truly a buzzer beater.
Throughout the game, the cameras kept showing this 100 year old woman who was there for her birthday. At least once or twice, she was drinking. Did they ever show her reaction to the end of the game? I didn't care about the players! I wanted to see how this 100 year old woman was enjoying her first game!

That was a great game! The bars here were going WILD! I'm not a Vikings fan myself, but I really thought it would be nice for the Vikings to get to the SuperBowl seeing as its in Minnesota this year.

We were on the edge of our seats! Poor dog freaked out when we started screaming! I think MN shook a bit from all of the fans roaring! We are a Thielen fan. Watched him play in college, and so much fun to see him with the Vikings! #skol
