Keenum and Diggs seal the deal
It took every second on the game clock and a few more for the Minnesota Vikings to put away the Saints in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs, but it was the shocking conclusion of the game that is the #1 moment from the game.

With no timeouts remaining and only 10 seconds on the clock, Minnesota found themselves outside of field goal range and 61 yards from the goal line. This is a highly improbable situation for any offense to convert, but obviously not impossible.
Keenum took the snap and dropped back, lofting a ball down the field toward receiver Stefon Diggs. Diggs reeled in the catch and avoided the contact from the Saints safety. Maintaining his balance and staying inbounds, #14 turned toward the goal line and started running rather than getting out of bounds.
This chose to be a great decision, as Diggs ran all the way for a score and secured that Minnesota would be advancing to face off against the Eagles next week.
