What a game!

Vikings shock Saints on stunning last-second touchdown Stefon Diggs crosses the goal line on a 61-yard score as time runs out in the Vikings’ incredible 29-24 comeback victory over the Saints, sending Minnesota to the NFC Championship game against the Eag

huddle and said: “I’m going to give somebody a chance.”

It turned out to be Diggs, who had hurt the Saints throughout the game by turning short underneath patterns into long gains.

This time, he headed down the sideline and found an opening in the Saints soft defense around the New Orleans 30-yard line. He made the clutch catch as Saints safety Marcus Williams inexplicably whiffed on the tackle, leaving Diggs nothing but green turf in front of him. Forget about the field goal. Diggs took it to the house as U.S. Bank Stadium went absolutely berserk.

“I don’t know what the per- centage was,” said Keenum, who was 25-of-40 for 318 yards and a touchdown in his first playoff start. “I just tried to give a guy a chance. He made an awesome play.”

It was a walk-off touchdown, sending the Vikings to Philadelphia for the NFC Championship and a chance to be the first team to play the Super Bowl in its home stadium.

“If the play happened different, I would go attack the ball and make a play,” Williams said. Maybe next year.

Diggs was still clutching the ball almost an hour after the game. He was still in his uniform, savoring the moment.

“Case said, ‘I’m going to give somebody a chance,’ and that somebody was me,” said Diggs, who caught six passes for 137 yards and the historic touchdown. His initial plan was to get out of bounds, but then he saw Williams slide past him.

“I took a picture before I turned around to catch the ball and there was only one guy there,” Diggs said. “If he slipped, I was going to stay up and keep it going.”

Wide receiver Adam Thielen knew the Vikings had a chance once he saw Diggs catch the ball.

“When the game’s on the line, you want the ball in the hands of the best player on your team,” Thielen said. “He’s the guy we want with the ball.”

Diggs was dog-piled in the end zone by his joyous teammates. He’s lucky to be alive.

“They’re some heavy guys, and I don’t weigh that much,” Diggs said.

The Vikings hadn’t lost a divisional playoff game at home since 1975, when Drew Pearson caught a late touchdown to give the Cowboys the win. Diggs said he was “still swimming” back then but is happy it can be replaced by a more enjoyable memory.

“It was a storybook ending,” Diggs said. “Things like this just don’t happen.”

It did Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium.
