The Vikings put me through hell with this one. Squandering a 17 point lead. Briefly taking the lead back on a Kai Forbath field goal. Promptly giving that lead right back on a Wil Lutz field goal. It was familiar territory for a Minnesota sports fan. My first true sports memory is the Gary Anderson missed field goal in the 1998 NFC Championship Game. Then of course there’s the Blair Walsh miss from 2015. So obviously I had zero faith that the Vikings would pull this one out. Down to the last play of the game, 3rd and 10 from the MIN 39 and Case Keenum and Stefon Diggs hook up for what can only be described as a miracle play. I’ve never gone so crazy in my life over a sports moment (at least not for one that wasn’t breaking my heart).
Now we get a Nick-Foles Eagles team against whom I would assume we will be favored. One more game then a home Super Bowl. So potentially two more weeks of near heart attack moments. But if they both end up with today’s result, I’m all for it.
