The fact that a player, Xavier Rhodes, knows and said himself that Minnesota doesnt get miracles, is why no matter what happened the next game, this was an amazing moment for all Viking fans.
At this point, no matter how many times my dear Vikings break my heart, I will never forget this moment as long as I live. Every time I see it, and get chills and tear up.
Vanessa Alonso couldn’t have said it better
Jared Hutchins and this is exactly why you are the most hated fan base in all of sports and it isn’t even close
Jared Hutchins hey dude, how’d the Eagles-Vikings game go this year? I’m sorry I seem to be having a lapse of my memory... oh WAIT! The Vikings absolutely slaughtered the Eagles! Silly me, always forgetting things. I wonder how the Eagles game went tonight against the Cowboys... OH WAIT! They got their asses beat again! Sorry everyone, things are just slipping my mind today 😃
Not even for Vikings fans. For anybody except maybe a saints fan, watching this was honestly a once in a lifetime moment. I think that says a lot as a hawks fan
I will forever brag that I was there. And feel stupid for yelling go outta bounds.
Anyone with a brain watching was yelling that. I was screaming, along with 4 other people, “get out of bounds!!! Get out!! Oh my god he just scored!!”
I was in the end zone that Diggs was running towards and I remember BRob running down the sidelines. It was absolutely amazing. I was excited and stunned. I was hoping there was no flag and once I realized there wasn't I was like party on. It was so loud in there. Literally no one wanted to leave, we sat there soaking up the moment.
@@JokerRaw Why you gotta be a bitch?
Richard Harper I was at that
game too. I was in section 111.
Sue there was a flag
Honestly, props to Kamara for agreeing to talk about this play for the NFL's 100-Greatest Plays. So many people just couldn't do that when the play is that detrimental to your team.
He was laughing while eating candy after the field goal HAHAHA
@@krokonuts9092 yeah he eats airheads to calm down lol
I am still nervous watching that Diggs is going to somehow step out of bonds. Vikings fan PTSD.
Or when he went to hold the ball up in the air before he crossed the goal line....makes me nervous watching that to this day!
IKR
If he would have went out of bounds, we would have GUARANTEED missed that field goal.....because Vikings
Suffering from success lol
More like Saints fans PTSD because luckily for y’all, it didn’t get out of bounds. Coming from a Bills fan in Ottawa, I could even hear y’all from here. I know that was a joke, but that’s just a representation from my cousin who lives in Minneapolis of how loud the city was.
Literally the most emotional moment in history, once Diggs regains his balance and starts sprinting, you can hear 67,000 people screaming all that heartbreak they’ve experienced with this team out because they can’t believe it. Seriously everytime I watch this and hear the crowd I tear up. definitely bittersweet now though.
I cry everytime I see any footage of this, i can remember the exact moment it happened 😭😭
And then the Eagles erase any thought that they had a chance.
Cringe. And nick Foles crushed you just the following week
@Hollywood T Nope. Life isn't pathetic for a guy who's team has won a Superbowl. Maybe one day your team will win one in the distant future.
Crazy to hear that, I get choked up watching it too.
“Minnesota never get miracles”, never heard anything more true in my life
Hands down the greatest moment of football I've ever watched.
Before they were murdered by the Eagles?
Inaren Commander y’all can keep saying that but that’s not what we care about, we care about that moment, not what happened after
It can’t be ranked this high because it was a FLUKE by the saints defender and they would be DESTROYED in the NFC Championship
Eagles1933 Well the game against the Eagles was a FLUKE game for the Vikings. If not for that FLUKE the Vikings would have destroyed the Eagles. Eagles are just lucky.
Enough with the Eagles talk. All we care about is that we actually got a moment. An actual miracle, which never happens to us. And it was revenge on the Saints
Greatest moment of my life as lifelong Vikings fan. We FINALLY had something amazing happen to us in the playoffs.
True 💯💥🔥
Complete turn around from when Blair Walsh missed that game deciding field goal just a few years before.
As a Saints fan this moment still gives me PTSD but since I live in Minnesota and my Mom is a Vikings fan, I can't help but smile knowing that this moment was fucking amazing for all of the fans out there.
God we fuckin' had this game lmao
Watch Eagles Vikings and weep.
For 21 years
the only time ive ever loved joe bucks voice SKOL!
I agree not a fan of Joe Buck but on this call I mark out for him
Buck still owes Randy Moss an apology, but this was a good call.
Lol listen to the radio and turn off the tv volume, I know it sounds a little extreme but trust me haha I can’t stand joe buck
Ian Schmidt he apologized.. he said it was one of the worse moments in his life calling that
Amazing moment man. No ring but a true rivalry moment that makes sports fun.
damn right, its karma
Wish we did this againt Green Bay 😂
This play gives me the chills to this day. How it happened. And afterwords case keenum got the fans to do the skol chant. It was magical. I so wanted them to win the Superbowl. Would have been an epic story to remember.
But the Eagles showed they weren't that great in the first place.
I still get goosebumps watching replays of Keenum firing up the crowd!
i’m not even a fan of the vikings and i remember watching this play live and my jaw dropped to the floor still gives me chills to this day
Linval Joseph picking up Everson Griffin is the greatest thing ever 😂
Jackisaboss1208 his reaction cracks me up every time
Best moment of my life. Also my first playoff game 🔥
Too 👌
One of my favorite moments was Eagles Vikings after that game.
i remember watching this is the basement with my cousin and my dad was just sitting on the couch looking SO disappointed and me and my cousin were just like “maybe they can make a comeback” and my dad was like “there’s no hope there’s 20 seconds” and he walked upstairs as me and my cousin were sitting on the ground and then we screamed so loud he thought that someone broke in LMAO
That why you gotta keep watching and hope for miracle.
amazing, i think this legitimately deserved to be top 5. After the history between the teams, the game up to that point... that was an amazing moment.
As a Saints fan, this brings me pain every time I see it.
Good
The Rams game too
@@nickschnepper375 bruh
At least Saints fans have a reason to hate a team more than the Vikings now at least *ahem* rams...
Hunter Williams L
I just remember on my knees screaming with joy then crying my ass off afterwards thxs for the memories
VIKING JEROME happiest moment of my life
@@steviechampagne You must have had an unhappy life.
@Hollywood T I'd honestly much rather never have my team get a ring than be as pathetic as that dude god damn
One of those moments ill never forget. Me and My dad were going to the timberwolves game that knight and once the saints kicked the field goal we figured we should get going since it was snowing hard out and would take a bit to get too target center from our house. We both said what the hell maybe something crazy will happen. I swear that night at the timber wolves game it was just SKOl! chants the whole night and the whole place was just purple. One of the greatest nights of my life.
Great story
badass
I was working at the café bar lucrat in Minneapolis at the time, this was huge because Minneapolis went crazy u heard the city scream miles away!
That's so cool!
I was thinking in the back of my head "Well there goes another disappointment." But since I was working in the stadium I was telling the fans around me "We can still win this" even though I didn't believe it. I still can't believe I was in the stadium for one of the greatest moments in team history.
Whoever had the duty of setting off the pyro when he scored was ON THE MONEY.
I was just balling my eyes out, I've never been so emotional from a game before, i'll never forget the moment I had with my father.
Doesnt matter that we went (almost) donut in the conference game.
To Minnesotans. THAT is what we imagine how it feels when our team wins a SB. You cant tell us nothing. Sean Payton doing the choking gesture right before mocking Bountygate also positioned MN for a new NFC rivalry besides the Packers. It was such a beautiful moment. I jumped up around screeching at the top of my lungs for a solid minute before I lost my voice
not even a vikings fan but i was happy when this happened. My favorite play of the last 20 years
It’s one of those plays where you know exactly where you were when it happened. I was at Chili’s with my friends for one of their birthdays, and the entire restaurant went absolutely crazy when it happened. Keep in mind this was in MARYLAND! Most of us weren’t even Vikings fans but we were that shocked at what had just happened...
I was at Ryan's ( a dive bar in Minneapolis) and we went nuts. I was hugging people I don't even know. All 3 bars on the block were so loud a guy told us he could hear everybody going wild from an apartment building a ways away. He was outside shoveling snow. It was one of the funnest moments I have ever had watching the Vikings. Or ANY sport. Right up there with Randy Moss' first year back in '98. Right up there with the World Series. You name it. We just went hog wild!!
Thought I was dreaming when watching this. We NEVER get anything our way in big moments so it was truly a moment every Vikes fan will ever forget!
Did you forget the NFC Championship that year yet? 😁
@@inarencommander4663 dude you're just pathetic
I’ll forever be thankful that I was one of the 60k people in attendance. Especially after going to the Philly game the following week. Such is the life of a Vikings fan. At least they gave me this, probably the best day of my life.
Thank you Keenum for the amazing season
I’m not a Vikings fan but I love watching his play and the reaction videos are the best. Steelers fan
I'm a HUGE Saints fan but I can say without a doubt that this is one of the most incredible plays of all time!
I will never ever forget this play. I remember pacing and just saying someone catch it and get out of bounds. And when Diggs caught it and he wasn't tackled I was like Emerson Griffen, I was just in shock and was like "what just happened", then I screamed and then legit fell to my knees and cried.
Diggs throwing his helmet is just iconic
We don’t talk about the next week. This is all we need to remember that season by
I remember the feeling I felt seeing that unfold. Everyone around me was literally rooting for N.O. I let out a big YES! Everyone turned around to stare at me. Love my VIKES
#SKOLVIKINGSSKOL
You shoulda pissed on em
Moments like these are fleeting. Thankfully we have the internet to bring us back to that place and time
I’m not even a Vikings fan but I saw this my jaw dropped when I saw the game me and my dad just looked each other just like wow that just happened
I was in O’ Hare International when I watched this. Chicago fans were pissed, but me, a Falcons fan, was jumping and saying “YES YES SCREW THE SAINTS.” Best shit ever.
28-3
Still brings tears to my eyes
haha it didn't mean anything tho LOL
Alex Reppert Yea it did to us bc we got payback for bounty gate
I've seen so many of those situations go the other way
@@918Mitchell what I mean is the Vikings got their cheeks clapped the next game
Alex Reppert yes indeed
i have been a huge vikes fan my whole life and i still get shivers every time i watch this play.
I literally get chills every time I see this. I've seen this hundreds of times
Even as a lions fan this is incredible. VIKINGS #2
I've watched these videos a million times and still get the chills. Unreal moment
I remember I was so upset before that play but kept watching and ran out of my house with my Vikings flag yelling “SKOL!” Lmao
Man so happy this is top 10! This was so awesome
A true out of body experience watching this live. For a solid minute, I couldn’t have told you my name, my wife’s name, or what country I live in. Just completely dumbfounded.
i was so lucky to turn my tv on for no reason, and it happening to be on that channel.
This is the kind of stuff you dream about as a kid. I mean when I was watching this, I had hope deep down inside, and I just remember being the happiest I’ve ever been in my entire life. What a game. Still got clapped by the eagles tho.
Mordecai In your whole life? How old are you?
15
@@Youngboyadept 15? If you're a Vikings fan, prepare for a lifetime of disappointment. They will occasionally take you up the glory mountain only to kick you back down halfway up.
GenesisSyn Trust me I already know
In that one play I went from screaming "F**K" to "F**K YES, WHAT A WIN!!" 😁
I remember my mom saying “yay I can’t wait to watch my Saints win!”. And then this play happens, and my mom was literally in shock
I'll never forget watching this with my Dad at 2 am with the time zone difference and just absolutely freaking out.
2 am?
@@kweller3117 yeah I was living in Switzerland at the time.
I was at that bar in Colorado and that guy was not watching the game, he was turning tricks up on the roof, called the cops on him actually 😂
Make UA-cam UA-cam Again I hope more people recognize this 😂
Recognized. Lolz.
I was on a 15 minute break, glancing at the score the whole night. As my break came to an end, I figured I'd see the end of the game. When Diggs made the catch, I was jumping up and down celebrating very loud. People in the hospital came to see what was going on. It was amazing.
I get chills after watching this play every time
Maybe it is bias because it was recent but I honestly see this as top 3-4 not 9. The history between the teams in recent years, the way the game flowed, the taunting from the saints coach and RB to the fans right before the play. It was an amazing thing to see how this happened
PAINTnPONG Vikings fans are the only ones who think there is some kind of rivalry between the two teams.
@@kweller3117 bountygate dumbass
Goosebumps every time I see this play!!! Next to Holmes superbowl toe tap touchdown and the immaculate reception(Steelers fan obviously) this is my favorite play in football history!
Mad respect for Alvin Kamara for appearing on the video. Good sport.
I remember watching it as it happened as a college freshman. As a senior this still brings tears to my eyes
I dont care what team you like. I think we can all (besides the saints probably) respect the vikings. I know Pats nation respect the hell out of the Vikings
I jumped out of my chair screaming "GET OUT OF BOUNDS" and when I looked at the TV he was running and I screamed "NO WAY!" The neighbors next door could hear us lol. They texted us to calm down. I still get goosebumps watching this
I remember this moment in time vividly. I will never forget it.
I remember the game myself...I had ran upstairs to my kitchen table to CRY, because it seemed all over for the vikings, and I was walking back down to go see the end, when I heard my parents shouting and I RUSHED down to BARELY catch the play! It was such an amazing feeling! You know diggs, keenum, and everybody else was on top of the world at that moment!
Then nick foles brought us back down to earth...thanks nick
KFAN radio: the edited version (Pauls voice only) or the raw version where Pete Bercich and others in the booth are screaming and clomping on PA's masterful call. Either way, hearing Paul Allen describe this play still gives me either goosebumps and or chills to this day.
IALTO
Never ever forget what I felt that night !
I actually watched that game on tv. I’m not a Vikings fan but I’m glad it made the final 8. I voted to make it final 4!!!
As a Pats fan, I was just stunned during this game. I still can’t believe that game happened the way it happened.
Such an AMAZING moment. I will never forget it.
‘Down to our last gasp’. Little did they know that Diggs made the play of the year. And beating the ‘Bountygate’ team made it even more special!! SKOL!!!!
2:23 when you’re confused over how you got an A+ in a grade 12 science exam.
Whos here after he got traded😭
Brody Williams I know it’s sad but the bills and Viking both made the right choice the bills needed a good Wide receiver and the Vikings couldn’t keep both Theilen and diggs.
Me
I’m not sad to much of a diva
I am sad he got traded, he was my favorite player. But at the same time I was like ok I get we traded him because we barley have him the ball
Everson griffin got traded to😔😔
I will never forget this. SKOL!
absm 16 I know right? I’ll never forget the year the Vikings failed to win a Super Bowl
@@kweller3117 😭
Kevin Wheeler I’ll never forget the low life that replies to every comment for literally no reason. Spend your “valuable” time elsewhere.
Thanks diggs❤ for the great memories
Diggs! Sideline! Touchdown! Unbelievable!
Vikings win it!
Imagine having to go pee in the middle of that play lol
You know somebody did. Imagine how many people left and heard the roars in the parking lot or driving home
I left the room to grab food and came right as he was catching it and running it in. Not a Vikings fan but that was insane
my mom was in the bathroom, but because she couldn't watch. i ended up celebrating with the strangers sitting next to me after this
Jburrow SMM bruh, why would you leave the room of a tight playoff game within the last two minutes
I was in the kitchen bitching about drinking the purple kool aid again for naught . My son jumping up and down screaming in the living room is how I found out
I remember exactly where I was the moment this happened. The watch party I was at was wrapping up, as we all thought they had lost, and I was just stepping out the door to leave, when suddenly I hear screaming coming from the room where the game was on. I rush back into the room just in time to see Diggs run into the endzone, and we all cheered and hugged each other for at least 20 minutes afterwards. Truly a magical moment.
Spingot Goomer That magical moment! Didn’t amount to anything.
I got the chills when i watched the game
My favorite moment as a Vikings fan! I got the cops called on me at my apartment because I was screaming so loud.
Well done my man. You need better neighbors.
3:13 LOL at the ref throwing a flag after he threw his helmet.
Cam I remember a Browns game where a player threw his helmet after a missed field goal by the opposing team with no time on the clock. Flag was thrown and the opposing team got a rekick and made it so the Browns lost. This is the first time I’m seeing this play. Did they pick up the flag or something?
@@MrBoDiggety Yes, they did. The flag would be for unsportsmanlike conduct and it was after the play, so it would be assessed on the kickoff. No kickoff in this case, so it didn't matter.
LMAO he did xD
I grew up watching Diggs at UMD and always knew he was special. Seeing him make that play and knowing all that he went through, it's a moment I'm never going to forget. I'm not a Vikings fan, but it's the most memorable play I've ever seen.
We did it again boys! It would suck to be a saints fan right now!
A day you will never forget. Went 0 to 100 real quick!
I wish I could go back to that moment.
I will always remember this!
2:24 Even the policewoman got in on the celebration.
I'll remember the moment, my sister in laws birthday, she's a saints fan, I'm a Vikings fan, she just blew out her candle and said Vikings done, when Vikings scored, I got a piece of cake slammed it in her face saying, Happy Birthday!!! Wish not granted lol
Thanks for everything Diggs.
I watched this happen on my own tv, we are vikings fans, all of us were so happy.
Now that Diggs is no longer a Viking, I'm just watching videos of Minneapolis Miracle coz I will definitely miss him. He's one of my favorites in the team. 💜💛
I was down to nothing. Another devastating Vikings Playoff loss. Another time to hang my head in shame.
And then it happened. One of the 5 best plays in NFL history.
I remember feeling so dejected and hurt before the Play. And so ELATED Afterwards. I Screamed and danced and Jumped up and down for a few minutes after it happened. And then I hugged my Mom and kept on Celebrating the Greatest Play in the entire History of the Minnesota Vikings!
I've been through: 1998, 1999, 2000, 2003 against the Cardinals, 2009 against the Saints, Locke misses against the Seahawks. And from the Absolute Lowest of ALL, TO THIS. MAGIC. MAGIC. MAGIC.
Gives me chills
I remember going outside and just yelling and then I started crying!!! 😔😭
I think every viking fan that year knew exactly what they were doing during that moment. I know I can still remember how I felt when the Saints got the lead, I can remember standing up and watching it with my Dad and Uncle. All of us were just so... defeated. "Yet another Vikings heartbreak incoming." Especially when the previous two plays didn't go anywhere. I just saying "Come on, just get into field goal range, that's all you need to win. Don't do anything fancy."
And then Diggs caught it. At the time I didn't even register that the guy mistimed his tackle I was just screaming to Diggs to get out of bounds because he caught it and they'll kick a field goal to win... and then he runs in and I just start jumping up and down screaming "OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! DID YOU SEE THAT?! HE DID IT! HE DID IT!" Hugging my dad and my uncle, who were both as shocked as I was, unable to say anything for a moment while I hugged them.
We may not have won the game after that, and Eagles fans seem keen on letting us know that we didn't get a ring out of this win... and that's true. But moments like this happen so rarely in Minneapolis. Things always seem stacked against us.. We've been on the wrong end of so many game-ending plays a lot like this... once, just once, we got the celebrate that it happened for us.
As a bears fan I can’t stop watching this play
Slimjim L why?
MAN THIS MAKES ME SO HYPED EVERYTIME
After being a non football fan all my life...this is what sparked my interest!
I watched this live on TV. What a time to be alive.
Lemme tell y'all....this game, the play call...even me coming to my hotel room from drinking and seeing this last play....mannnn I will NEVER forget this!!! And yes...I'm a Cowboyz fan for life!! But this play and game will forever go down in history!!! SKOL...pat pat.... SKOL!!!
This is my Favorite TV Sports Game I've Ever Seen... My 2nd Favorite is 2008's Iowa Hawkeyes defeating #3 Penn State 24-23 in the last 6 seconds of the game!!!
I was at a Jersey Mikes when the miracle happened
goosebumps
I remember watching this with my dad and aunt and when it happened everyone went crazy
