Diggs On Receiving End Of History

The Minnesota Vikings are headed to Philadelphia for the NFC Championship Game this Sunday. Last Sunday in Minneapolis the Vikings were 10 seconds away from additional playoff disappointment vs. New Orleans. Case Keenum found Steffon Diggs for a 61 yard catch and run touchdown as time expired. New Orleans went from moments away from winning only their 2nd road playoff game, to being eliminated in dramatic fashion. Rookie safety Marcus Williams simply didn't make a play. With an inbound tackle the game is over. The Vikings had no timeouts remaining. Now Minnesota has a chance to become the first team to play in a Superbowl in their home stadium. The only thing that stands between that, is a game in Philadelphia, which awaits them on Sunday. 29-24 Vikings victory in the Divisional round will be remembered for a long time in Minneapolis.
