The Minneapolis Miracle deserves a deep rewind | Vikings-Saints 2017 Playoffs

You may remember exactly where you were when this moment happened, but do you remember everything that made it truly matter?
For many of us, the Minneapolis Miracle overshadowed so much from that 2017 season. The Vikings had been a bit of a confusing team, in part thanks to their own bad luck. They had been forced to cycle through quarterbacks in a way that made their season that year one of the biggest shocks in the league. To counter their surprising offense, New Orleans offered a possibly even more unexpected strong defense, made up by some young players we might before for the wrong reasons.
But, that's football for you. Big plays will dominate our opinions, our memories betray us, and rarely do we get to have the chance to watch something fresh for a second time. Welp, that's why we make Rewinder.

[@Adventrium]

@@stratdaddy Google Taylor Heinicke leg injury

[@NotForLongNFL]

@@stratdaddy Back in 2016, Vikings QB Taylor Heinicke (the same one who nearly beat the Bucs in the WC), was slated to be the 3rd QB. However, this all changed one night when he was coming home from an evening with friends during training camp. Keep in mind that he was kind of drunk. It was dark outside, and Taylor couldn't find his key. Therefore, he was locked out of his house. In Taylor's mind, the most logical solution was to... try and break into his own house by literally kicking his front door down. It backfired tremendously, and Heinicke suffered a major gash on his foot. The Vikings put him on IR shortly after.

I still get goosebumps every time I watch this.

[@SkolBuddy420]

Greatest moment in Vikings history hands down. I had my finger on the power button of the tv and tears in my eyes before this happened. I’ve never had such a huge range of emotions in my life, thank you for doing this video. Us Vikings fans have gotten the short end of the stick, but probably one of the most passionate fan bases in sports. Ugh goosebumps.

[@IStillJustLikeCats]

One of the things that really added to the pain of this play, was just how poorly the Vikings ended up playing against the Eagles in the following week. They Basically showed up, confidently drove the ball down the field to score on their first possession, and then decided that was going to be it and called it a day.

The thing that really caught me off guard when I was watching the play was Joe buck. But, I still wish the Vikings didn’t get blown out the following week.

[@AliceClow]

Well, the Buck call is absolutely legendary. Especially as he’s not known for sounding that excited. I imagine they put this call in the vid instead because of the “Minneapolis Miracle” name-drop. Certainly caught me by surprise.

[@anitalift7546]

@@ozamatazbuckshank7467 oh, I didn't mean because of the easier road to the Super Bowl. It's more of the feeling of, "oh, you got a miracle? Try to miracle your way out of 38 unanswered."

[@vanteal]

The 1998 Vikings are still the greatest of all time. Possibly the greatest team of all time. When you can go out there and have your QB laughing while they're up at the line of scrimmage, you know you've got confidence for days in the talent around you. Nobody could touch them. Except the Bucs, or rather, Mike Alstott. He was such a beast! He won that game against us on his own.

Been waiting for this for a long time! I'm not even a Vikings fan (Falcons fan) but I'll be damned if I didn't say this play was iconic. Excited for this Rewinder. Secret Base knows what the people want and delivers in spectacular fashion! 🤑

[@KingJay1513]

I became a Vikings fan in 2009 during their run to the NFC Championship. That Favre interception was the first painful Vikings moment on a long list to come over the next decade. There have really been only two tear-jerking, goosebump-giving moments in Vikings history in that time. The first one was AD's historic MVP season. He came within 9 yards of breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record as he set up Blair Walsh for a game-winning field goal to clinch a playoff berth. The other? The Minneapolis Miracle. This is what I will hang onto until the franchise can finally bring home the Lombardi Trophy.

[@nickbrowne3286]

I remember I was having a late 17th birthday party on the day of this game so I couldn’t watch it but my dad was watching it on the tv in his room and at one point I got up to go check the score and I walk in just in time to see Diggs get the ball and I’m just standing there like “did that just actually happen?” Definitely one of the most absolute crazy plays I have ever seen and I’ll still remember walking in just barely in time to see it

[@jd229]

I maintain this is the best piece of camera and production work the nfl has ever done the camera angle and cuts could not be better

[@achilles9448]

I remember watching this game and I am very happy for the viking fans because they deserve a moment like this... People say it was an amazing catch and run but in my opinion it wasn't really a miracle... It was the saints particularly Marcus William made a horrible mistake because all he needed to do is let him catch it and you can tackle him before he gets out of bounds and the game would have been over.. he's completely missed the tackle which let the Viking win this game but I don't want to take any credit from the Vikings this was a really good game... My 49ers we had our share with incredible good games with the New Orleans saints particularly the 2011 divisional playoff game so in the way I know how they feel

[@dustingreene6923]

I was praying to god that the Vikes didn't choke another playoff game away, then Diggsy caught that ball, and my father-in-law and I were screaming, "GET OUT OF BOUNDS, GO!" But he just kept on right to the end zone and became an all-time legend as I fell to my knees in disbelief. The following week, my toddler niece thought it was best to come bring me the remote so I wouldn't be so upset.

It's funny. You make a point of the defense waiting on a consistent offense. Now, it's the opposite.

[@SvenDzahov]

I would say this is the first season under Zimmer our offense was better than our defense. Danielle Hunter, Michael Pierce and Mike Hughes (who would’ve guessed Mike would get hurt lmao) all missed the season. We lost Griffey, Alexander, Wayne’s, and Rhodes, and several key back ups like Sendajo and Kearse. Wouldn’t be surprised if we signed a guard and had a really defensive draft. Getting another edge, safety, 3 tech, and some line backers
