Week 17 Highlight: Vikings WR Stefon Diggs 3rd quarter touchdown

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Case Keenum connected with wide receiver Stefon Diggs for a touchdown in the 3rd quarter of Week 17 against the Chicago Bears.

The big plays and highlights kept coming for the Minnesota Vikings in the second half of their Week 17 game against the Chicago Bears as the game was still competitive at 16-7 in the 3rd quarter.

A big play involved the Vikings offense. In particular, it involved quarterback Case Keenum and wide receiver Stefon Diggs late in the 3rd quarter after the two teams exchanged punts several times.

Check out the scoring play for the Minnesota Vikings as shared on the official Twitter account of the team:

From 15 yards out, Keenum took the snap from center Joe Berger and dropped back, faking to the running back. He didn’t take long to survey the field before finding a situation he liked. With a quick throwing motion, he rifled the ball toward the end zone.

Diggs was open, but the window was small. The velocity of the catch allowed the ball to arrive just where it needed to be, but the ball bounced off the outside arm of Diggs, making the catch more difficult.

However, the wide receiver adjusted well and used his other arm to corral the catch and establish himself inbounds with the football before falling to the ground.

The touchdown and extra point from kicker Kai Forbath gave the Vikings a 23-7 lead in the closing seconds of the third quarter and put the Vikings hold on the second seed in the NFC a little bit tighter.

Even more fun was the celebration, which featured some fancy dance moves and was also shared by the Vikings on Twitter:
