Friday Funny 1385: Vikings Win!! The Minneapolis Miracle!

I've been a Vikings fan since I was a boy. So you can imagine the screaming in our house on Sunday night when the "Minneapolis Miracle" happened: 4 lead changes in the last 3:01 of the NFC Divisional Playoff with a MIRACLE in the last 10 seconds (QB Case Keenum to WR Stefon Diggs for 61 yards) to get the Vikings to advance to the NFC Championship Game! My wife and I screamed so much we made 3-year-old Charlie cry! Oops.

Here's the 2 minute clip of the play (in case you've been living under a rock [or not in Minnesota] for the last 5 days). And here's a nice 6 minute piece from NFL Turning Point about the end of that game. And here are some fun fan reactions put together by the Minnesota Vikings. (I didn't know Michael Strahan wanted the Vikes to win that bad!)

Anyway, here are the best Twitter reactions that I've come across from after that game:

Former MPLS mayor. And she's right: heartbreaking losses are what usually happens TO the Vikings.


Same point as above.


Such an anti-climactic extra point that took 5 minutes to get going... then they just kneeled down.
















SAME.




SERIOUSLY: the ENTIRE team was all class and quite humble in their post-game interviews.
My wife and I were super impressed. She may have developed a crush.

Finally, a church where we sometimes go to mass (because they have a Sunday night 7:00 pm mass that works well on full/busy weekends) posted this after the game:

Brilliant.

Again, some fun videos: here's the 2 minute clip of the play, here's a nice 6 minute piece from NFL Turning Point about the end of that game, and here are some fun fan reactions put together by the Vikes.
