Stephen, When you said that the touchdown throw from Case Keenum to Diggs "ruined the evening," you made me laugh. It was one of those slight nose exhale type laughs where you think, "wow, did this so called professional analyst just say that?" I thought you were being sarcastic. Do you even understand how you tried to smear one of the greatest last second plays in the history of my lifetime? By the way Mr. Smith, I am a 24 year old Vikings fan from the tundra of Duluth, MN. So yes, I might be a little biased, but I have experienced heartbreak multiple times in my life rooting for the Vikings. For a moment like the one last Sunday to go our way, it is surreal. I haven't experienced a feeling like that in my 24 years of existence, and for you to say it "ruined the evening" just makes me laugh. You wanted a Drew Brees story line right? You got something much better, you got a 3rd string QB, a 5th round WR, even more undrafted free agents, and a team with more balls than the inseam on you pleated pants has ever seen. We deserved that win, and we deserve this feeling that we are still feeling. Don't discredit this moment you rat. Sincerely, Buffalo Right Seven Heaven.

[@RYAN30NEAL]

I agree with max. Case Keenum is legit , stop downing him.

[@JuanHernandez-mw9zt]

he played ok but if Williams makes that tackle then Keenum has less then 300 yards passing with no touchdowns and an interception. They got some luck at the end.

[@itsintheword230]

Ryan133 .....no...Keenum is not legit....his receivers are but the guy has no arm nor velocity. Those passes were like hot air balloons.......he just threw the ball straight up in the air on several occasions. I like the win but that's the last game he will win

[@nathancasey7712]

Jerome Williams He had a couple suspect passes only when he was pressured heavily by the defense. That's it.

[@nathancasey7712]

Juan Hernandez Even if he made the tackle he could have been hit out of bounds or stepped out and we would have hit the field goal.

[@BruceWaynesFactory]

Juan Hernandez We won after the catch no mater what , he would have went out of bounds with 3 seconds to go in field goal range

[@ryanbrady6166]

For everyone that is talking crap, Marcus Williams is a good safety. 2nd round pick out of Utah, 21-years old and played well all year. Its really upsetting how this one play will most likely be remembered for his whole life, even if he turns into the next Charles Woodson.

[@Acepilot12345]

Ryan Brady dude he made the worst tackle in nfl history! Lmao looked stage as fuck. I wanted Vikings to win but damn that shit was hilarious how you miss that tackle. This will forever be his mark for the rest of his career.

[@shizzy2x740]

Acepilot12345 Sean Payton told the DB’s don’t get a penalty that could possibly put the Vikings in position to hit the game winning field goal. He tried to lead with his shoulder, and missed.

[@ryanbradshaw3813]

tbh if he ends up as good as charles woodson, they'll forget about this

[@Acepilot12345]

Shizzy 2x lmao yeah but anybody would have at least stopped right in front of him and then make the tackle. He just ran and dodged. Look comical.

[@shizzy2x740]

Acepilot12345 he put his head, & anticipated where he was gonna be. With refs calling targeting calls on everything, you kinda have to anticipate.

[@JSinfiniti]

Its crazy cause the guy that lost them the game, kind of brought them back into the game when he got that interception the first time they threw it to diggs and they were down 17-0.

[@stephenjeltema2323]

It's unfortunate he will have this hanging over his head after being such a stud all year... and in this game (overall), as you absolutely pointed out.

[@daterapeface5340]

That's true. Unfortunately for that dude, people will only remember the final play.

[@plzfixwolves955]

If Marcus Williams happens to become a All-Pro type safety and doesn’t make it into the HOF, this is probably the reason why.

[@DB-qc9br]

Well the officials giving a 17 point cushion to the Vikings kind of lost them the game. The final play shouldnt have mattered since Saints clearly outplayed them. TDs called back, bs PI calls...the fix was in before the coin flip.

[@markbrown332]

Marcus, nothing but love! You and the entire Saint team in the second half were electric! Im convinced the ghost of Prince jumped out from other side and made that play. Great Game.

“I think you look back at the things we accomplished and some of the memories that were made and the relationships that were built and the way this team came together.

People are underrating what Could possibly be the greatest story in nfl\Sports history. We have chance to see the number one defense, Who by the way Would be the first team to host there on superbowl. Vs tom brady. We know Brady is great, but can he conquer this feat. To me that was the best story before the season even started. Jags and Vikings are a mere image of eachother, so the question is which team is the better version? And the Eagles, well i love phili, i actually picked them to go to the superbowl after week 3, but without wentz its not looking good. So what im saying is we need Minnesota in the Superbowl. The NFL needs Minnesota in the superbowl, as a matter-of-fact the whole world needs Minnesota in the superbowl!

[@slimdangerous1928]

Rap Brown Skol

[@rapbrown310]

mark pfromm I feel your pain bro, I feel your pain regarding 3 statements you made. First i to have lost quite a bit betting against new England. I actually live in vegas now so you can only imaging the amount of funds that i have coughed up. With the amount of money that i have lost i could have easily caught a limo to Carson and walked right into the moonlight bunnyranch and had what we call a Neapolitan special. The crazy part is that the one time that i actually did bet on new England they lost to the Giants in the superbowl. Second I also Would like to see New England lose and i do believe that Jacksonville has somewhat of a chance. Finally i feel really bad for phily fans. Such a great year for the Eagles only to Have "who i consider the MVP of the league in Carson Wentz" go down. But there is gsome Good news. No matter what happens on Sunday the Philadelphia Eagles have one extremely bright future.

[@brodricksheffield9738]

no its pretty clear that Brady vs Brees would've been EPIC and much better for ratings since its to hall of game QBS and the north vs the south. so whatever bs rant you just preached is just that bs total garbage. are the vikings the no 1 defense??? i couldn't tell in second half plus eagles and jags both have great defenses so regardless a great D will be in bowl. As far as playing at home for bowl goes that means nothing to people outside of Minnesota tbh

[@rapbrown310]

Actually, the NFL is one of the few sports Where you Don't actually need a brees vs brady matchup for ratings. Its the NFL and the fucking superbowl, they sell out preseason games. The browns and lions Could be playing in the Superbowl and people would watch it. Its a sporting event like no other that comes down to 1 final game. Therer's people that watch it just for the commercials........ But that's beside the point. That last statement you just typed has to be arguably the most unintelligent, idiotic, statements that i have ever had the misfortune enough to read. Now when you said that Minnesota playing a home superbowl game does not mean nothing to people outside of Minnesota please tell me what in the hell do you mean by that? And what planet do you live on? There Has been no team, ill repeat no team in NFL history to host there own superbowl and What is America’s biggest annual sporting event. How that's somehow only a big deal to Minnesota fans is somewhat mind boggling to me. So lets use your logical way of thinking pertaining to major history being set. When the Dolphins went undefeated was that only a big deal to Miami or does the majority of nfl fans still remember the 72 dolphins? When doug Williams became the first black quarterback to When a superbowl was that only a big deal to Washington? If i remember history correctly usually when we go an extremely long time without ever seeing something and than it finally happens, its more than likely cosidered making history "which i could be wrong" but most people, even outside of Where it takes place at cosiderers it a big deal. So if the eagles play in the superbowl instead of Minnesota your saying that its not only not a big deal, but its probably a better story than Minnesota playing in the superbowl in there home stadium? Thats basically what you just said. And you go the audacity to talk about Minnesota’s defense? How many points did Jacksonville give up last week? Then last time i checked Minnesota had drew brees looking like Tim tebow in the first half. Maybe if he Would have played better in the first half the saints could have won? Or maybe if case keenum doesn't throw that horrendous interception or Minnesota doesn't have their punt get blocked this game would have never even been close? Oh yeah speaking of North vs South, now im no geographical Nazi but What was Minnesota vs the saints cosidered???? Who would have actually called the patriots vs the saints a North vs South rivalry? Do brees and Brady literally play against eachother? If the Other quarterback is facing a tougher defense how can you fairly call it a head to head match up? Brady would be playing against the saints defense while drew brees would be playing against the patriots defense. I think tom brady vs the Minnesota Vikings is technically more of a match up than brees vs brady. Look bottom line your some butthurt fan who should have told the vikings to it slow when they Where pounding you from the back so hard it made your butt-hurt. Most non Minnesota Viking fans are actually pulling for Minnesota and have acknowledge that history Could be made if Minnesota in fact goes all the way . Its just your to busy on the ground sucking drew brees´s dick its going way over your head plus the head that you have in your mouth.

I dont usually agree with Max but hes 100 p right about Case. I'll never understand why people say "they should have won they were sensational the second half" that means they were trash the first half.

So the flags were what made Brees throw 2 picks? Or your double headed monster rush for 70 YDS? Or Brees go 8/18 in the 1st half? Also, the PI you are referring too only turned into 3 points. They missed a clear hold on Thielen in the 2nd half that potentially could have won it for the Vikes. Refs weren't perfect yesterday and they NEVER are.

[@ThorlikeSmash]

Locked them down? Down 17-0 at halftime. Do you own a dictionary? Locked down = 17 points in a half, or if doubled, would be 34 points? Yeah, I'd say allowing 17 points in 1 half is locked down. Saints fans have looooved to rub the '09 Bounty Gate in our faces. Now you get to hold that L. Don't worry, though; L's are in your nature being from (L)ouisiana.

[@technomage6736]

Rob H Coming from a neutral side, officiating has been easily as atrocious this year as it has any other year. It's disgusting to have some of the rules they have regarding officiating, like no reviews or re-thinks, no technology assistance allowed for penalty calls, etc. There is ZERO reason (aside from a few bucks) they can't have their "guys in the box" watching and correcting things as the game goes, so that the game isn't "bogged down" as they like to say. It really makes it hard to watch, because we may not even be watching these same teams in the playoffs if officiating was more accurate. Of course it'll never be perfect, but it can certainly be better.

And fyi, we lost this game on that 3rd and 1. If we get that first with a to left, we run the clock down. This shit hurt but we will bounce back. Only bandwagon Saints fans would want him gone.

The Broncos with Manning built the same team and won. The problem is that requires you to build the top defense in the league to pull it off.

[@art-sw1de]

Unbelievable

[@dwest4128]

Best game I've seen in my life 💯

[@jgamez5023]

As an NFL fan with no dog in that fight I was heart-broken for Saints fans, but also exhilarated for Vikings fans. Being from Texas, I wanted Brees in the Super Bowl, but the next best thing is having the Vikings be the first team in NFL history to play the Super Bowl in their own back yard. Now THAT would be super cool! One game away, finish it !

[@freddygaulman1416]

Newsflash Stephen A never liked the vikings. He's still butt hurt over them getting rid of Adrian Peterson. And it doesn't matter if Keenum beats the eagles, he'll still hate on them...

[@Bgray703]

Sounds realistic that’s how these media guys operate they like to stick to there story

[@freddygaulman1416]

+Branden Gray Fr unless you're Brady, Rodgers, or Brees, don't expect the media to give them props when its due

[@ThorlikeSmash]

Stephen A. was clearly the diversity hire.

[@Thehawkdown99]

Why would he be a "diversity hire"?

[@joaquin4497]

lol Stephen a rolled his eyes when max said case Keenum is for real

[@Chimcharlover13]

It "ruined the evening"? Oh boo freaking hoo. Who cares about a Brady/Brees matchup? Jesus Christ, it's more about matchups in sports that make it fun. I'm an Eagles fan, and I'm hoping the Vikings get destroyed on Sunday to Philly...but even I was very happy for them and excited to see that happen. I was hoping they'd win. I don't give a shit who their players are; all I care about is seeing teams that deserve to win...well, win! The Vikings, Jaguars, and Eagles have never won a Super Bowl. One of them definitely deserves it this season, and who their QB is shouldn't make one fucking difference. So knock it off.

[@georgewallace4939]

Don't really know what ya mean about "deserve to win." to come back 17 down against a D like the Vikes, shutout in the first half, 2 defensive back to back pass interference calls for 54 total yards yards-the second of which was bullshit, then come back in the second half after that and block a punt, covert on 4th and ten for thirteen yards, score the TDs, make the kicks and do what needed to be done when it was nut cutting time is what it is all about in sports and in life-all seems pretty deserving to me. And to lose the game cause a free safety has a brain lock when a Pop Warner kid would know that he only needed to let the Vike make the catch and destroy him Ronnie Lott-style (when he ain't looking) and maybe old man Brees doesn't get another shot (very likely) is pathetic. I guess, in the end, the winner "deserves" to win in sports and in life cause, well, he won.

[@samjohnson5288]

George Wallace Both teams deserved to win that game. Vikings defense collapsed in the second half and Brees looked like a hof qb. You can go on and on about reasons why one team deserves to win over the other. Deservedness is just your perspective. Don't forget that if Williams makes that tackle, the Vikings still have a 45-50 yard field goal try... both teams never gave up, and in the end the Vikings made the last play. They won because Keenum made a great throw and Diggs made a great catch at the perfect moment. not because of penalties or any other bs. It sucks for Saints fans that it had to end that way, but at least you have a super bowl lol unlike some teams....

[@samjohnson5288]

Tailslover13 ay no matter what happens next week, I'm just satisfied with the way the Vikings won yesterday. Cant wait to watch the game on Sunday. If my Vikings don't win, I'll be cheering the Eagles on here in Minneapolis on Feb 4!! It's a shame you guys lost Wentz. That guy is the real deal but you still have a complete team and Foles looked competent on Saturday. Whatever happens the Eagles have a very bright future. Good luck to you this weekend!! SKOL

[@georgewallace4939]

there's so much history between the Vikings and New Orleans. I remember the Super Bowl in New Orleans when the Vikes came down here with one of the greatest football teams in history Alan Page the Purple People Eaters Joe Kapp with that single bar face guard looking like the baddest mofo ever and the great Bud Grant. what a team! what a coach! and they got outgameplanned by Hank Stramm Dawson and the Chiefs-a team that position to position didn't deserve to be on the field with the Vikings. And the Chiefs won. The way I read the game clock, if we make the tackle, time expires game over. Keenum is a great story and that was a perfect throw. the guy's been around a long time. I expected him to play well. The Saints and Vikes have been bumping into each other in the playoffs for a long time (I remember when we blew something like a three TD lead back in the 90s) and its always a brawl and that's why we love sports. I like the Vikings and I will close with your phrase 'unlike some other teams...." good luck

[@EchoLeague2]

Tailslover13 a lot of these fans and analysts don’t realize that’s it’s a new era in the nfl. The Big Ben , Brady , Rodgers, and the Brees days are coming to an end. Now is the time that these young qbs such as Wentz, Goff, Keenum , Watson, and Bortles all take over the game

[@edonbytyqi3157]

We will be back next season and we will be better

[@BugSwoyer]

Saints team is very young, you guys will definitely be a huge threat in 2018. Great game from start to finish, good luck next season SKOL

[@BMJCARPENTRY]

Yes Max, thanks for saying it. Just as much as there may have been a mistake by Willian's or the DEFENSIVE SET UP, there was a great throw and a great catch.

[@hansanderson6607]

Did any of you see that aint's fan throwing his big screen TV off of his balcony when the VIKINGS "shocked the world" on that TOUCHDOWN??? CLASSIC!!!!

[@DanielRGonza]

If we get a Case Keenum vs Blake Brotles Super Bowl man I’ll laugh so hard

[@LilVenetian]

Keenum been consistently good tho unlike foles and bortles

[@pamion2805]

Jabrony Lin they gon rigg it i was thinking the jaguars going to beat the patriots but then realized nobody want to see the jags play in the superbowl

[@pamion2805]

Not even me and i want the jags to win

[@ThorlikeSmash]

Why? Because your team is so trash they can't even compete with Keenum or Bortles? I'm laughing at you.

[@DanielRGonza]

Khefa Nosakhere Hell ya it would

Lol aye the Vikings have suffered enough they finally got a break to help them instead of going against them

[@blowthewhistle3352]

[@MrFirextinguisher]

Whoever thinks a jags Vikings Super Bowl would be bad for the league is a joke and a homer I’m pretty sure a lot of fans wanna see some fresh faces and hardworking defenses make amazing plays

I'm a die hard cowboy fan- i am so happy for the vikings. I really want them to go all the way!

[@Zeldaturtles]

Marcus Williams behaved like a grown man when he took responsibility for that missed tackle. Respect.

[@daterapeface5340]

True. However, I still don't get what the hell he was doing on that final play.

[@DB-qc9br]

What else was he supposed to do? Act like it was someone else's fault he tackled Mante' Teo's girlfriend?

[@markula_4040]

2:56 "Case Keenum is for real" And yet here we are almost 2 years later and he hasn't won a meaningful game since.

[@josefunes6811]

He hasn't had anywhere near a team he had in Minnesota

[@heltemania6309]

Thank you MAX...

[@benniebaldwin9179]

Best playoff game ever Im a saints fan but when I saw that I went nuts until I realized it was reality

[@SavageWayz305]

Stephen A. Is so dramatic. Acting like Marcus Williams didn’t make an interception in the first half. He mistimed the tackle, and Diggs took advantage. Simply Put.

[@iamnotacriminal]

Randy Orisma bah don’t compensate for him.

[@SavageWayz305]

SwiperMust Swipe I’m not compensating for him, I stated a fact. He mistimed it. If you look at his first half interception, he time it correctly.

[@traytray4500]

Randy Orisma. Facts it's football stuff always happens

[@xacex6944]

Randy Orisma he was a little overboard but still that's a damn play that you have to make. There's really no excuse for that

[@rauh802]

He didn’t try to tackle him....he Panic

[@nickoli615]

Man I thought it was bad being a Steeler’s fan yesterday but... I can’t imagine how infuriating it is being a saints fan. Giving the game away like that.

[@IssaDuB95]

The fact we went from starting 0-2 to this says the Saints can only get better. Yeah I drink a whole bottle of Crown Royal but still damn proud of my Bayou Boys. We’ll be back see y’all in the Superdome #WhoDat

[@ThorlikeSmash]

A little salty in the Bayou I see. How about this one? Diggs and the Vikings are now by you! The more salt you use, the more painful the wound!

[@ScotMendenhall]

#skolvikings. I was all over the place emotionally in that game. Well done #vikings #bringithome

[@derrickjackson6543]

One of the directors at my job said that game was the Super Bowl

[@spacebreadpatrick3831]

Case Keenum is the Vikings Quarterback of the future period, end of debate.

[@dreski83]

Paddy Bear decrease speed around sharp corners...

[@user-xs7wz2vd1f]

naw lol hate to break it to you but as a fan naw

[@rougeleader2]

Pat Shurmur fixing to be Giants next HC; probably taking Keenum with him. #GoCoogs

[@MafiaboysWorld]

Javi Vente And I would wish them both luck and hope both get PAID because BOTH of them deserve it for what they've done for the Vikings this season. 💪 But, you gotta remember, we have another two great QBs in Teddy and Sam so our future is pretty good. 👌

[@BrendanSlob]

+Javi Vente No way Keenum leaves Minnesota. Go read his Players Tribune article and you'll see why. The fans in Minnesota have completely embraced him to the point that he talks about how much he loves it here in the article and its because of how much the team and fans have shown him and his wife love. Plus why do you want Keenum when you still have Manning? Keenum is in the perfect situation for him and if he moves to another club its going to be a HUGE mistake. Is it worth losing having a possible legacy being on a roster that fits you to a tee in exchange for a marginal financial gain? He's obviously going to get a SIGNIFICANT raise from the Vikings in the offseason and even if the Giants offer more,this situation and chance at greatness is not something that players like Keenum EVER/often get.

[@wipe919]

Vikings might beat the patriots lowkey

[@sacrifice308]

deonta thomas lmfao u high or what? Every other team rn has no chance against the patriots lmfao

[@wipe919]

creative joe bandwagon

[@semionjohnson1351]

the Vikings haven't beaten the eagles foh with the disrespect they might not even be in the super bowl and actually every team left has a chance against the Patriots because the three teams left have the best defenses in the NFL and a decent run game and weapons offensively and defensively "Creative joe"

[@sacrifice308]

deonta thomas how dumbass? Let's all admit that nun of those teams have a damn chance with the patriots just fucking admit it, this super bowl gonna be fucking boring

[@itsyoobiiEman]

Bruh Diggs dont even have a fade or a line up. They let this nigga run for a touchdown with the Danny Glover Lethal Weapon fro

[@mribbon89]

This what the NFL needed. Not from a marketing standpoint but from a perception standpoint. Too long has there been the notion that an elite QB was NECESSARY to win a Super Bowl. The result was that teams kept reaching for QB'S in the draft and passing on very talented players. The teams have been catering to that notion even with play calling. All you need is good defense and run game and you WILL win in this league. Jacksonville, Minnesota and Philly are all examples of that.

[@virgilrw]

I was praying for Keenum to pull it out! Hallelujah!!!

[@apj1474]

RATINGS ARE GOING TO BE RIDICULOUS IF BORTLES AND KEENUM MAKE OT TO SUPERBOWL, LOL. THAT'S WHAT I HOPE HAPPENS BY THE WAY

[@kingprince7825]

I'll give them a shot if Jacksonville show's up to play but the ref's may decide this game for the patriot's

[@jarretberenson1214]

Albert Paiz Foles verse Bortles would still be the worst qb matchup

[@apj1474]

Jarret Berenson no doubt

[@apj1474]

[@duvalonlytypeshit9162]

Lol look what happened to mr.keenum looks like Stephen a was right all along

[@brasiansmiff3388]

I could not wrap my head around how badly he missed Diggs but after watching the replay a few times, the view behind the offense showed Williams early and he tried to avoid a pass interference. It's unfortunate for the saint's nation. Best wishes to Williams

[@BigC-vi9jq]

I am glad they one they deserve it I am not a saints fan good for them

[@tramallkellup3664]

the Saints safety gave the Vikings the game

[@RJ-lg7pc]

Nope. They were in field goal range and Diggs could have gotten out of bounds. Then, not that difficult of field goal and game over. Fact is, the Saints made a "miraculous" comeback after getting torched in the first 2.5 qtrs. Vikings were the superior team. Period.

[@dfsdonk4379]

Maybe you could say the vikes d gave the saints a long shot to even get back in the game the second half. Easy to point fingers at one play, but that game was over at halftime

[@tramallkellup3664]

R J Vikings not dat dominate if they gave up 24 points in the second half

[@tramallkellup3664]

DFS Donk Vikings was fighting for their lives so the Vikings are not dominate as one would think

[@MiLLz830]

nah bro if he made that tackle the game would of been over, there was no time on the clock...
