The Minnesota Vikings defeated the New Orleans Saints in one of the craziest endings the NFL has ever seen. Here are some of the best reactions from Twitter.
The NFL playoffs are a special time of the year and they never seem to disappoint. For every Patriots blowout win over the Titans, there is a Vikings walk-off victory against the Saints. There were a total of four lead changes in the last two and a half minutes of the game, the final one coming with zeros on the clock.
Case Keenum led the Vikings offense down the field with less than 25 seconds left in the game and hit Stefon Diggs for a game-winning touchdown as time expired. The Vikings, who are usually on the receiving end of heartbreaking losses, finally get to celebrate. Blair Walsh isn’t around to shank a field goal, sorry Vikings fans. Too soon?
Next: Blake Bortles is Mark Sanchez 2.0
Regardless of who you are a fan of, everyone had to love that game. It had everything that fans expect from a playoff game. A wild comeback, several lead changes, and a game winning touchdown as time expired. It tuly was perfect. Well, except maybe for the Saints and their fans. Here are some of the best reactions from Vikings fans, and just ordinary football fans, on Twitter.
How can you not love football?

I can’t believe that really happened. Cannot. One of the best games in recent memory and the #Vikings are still alive somehow.

Case Keenum and Stefon Diggs just became Vikings legends.

The disbelief was real for Keenum, who was overcome with emotions in the post game interview.
Even @casekeenum7 can't believe what just happened! #NOvsMIN #NFLPlayoffs https://t.co/2VeAenXFvt

Keenum even got to lead the Vikings faithful in the Skol chant after the game.
When you’re the guy who blew the coverage, you are gonna be the recipient of quite a bit of hate. Sorry Marcus Williams.
We just witnessed the worst defensive back play in the history of football. #NOvsMIN
