Great moment to end the game on...glad I was there. Zimmer's defense blowing a 17 point half time lead was not fun though.
I remember going from super excited and positive and happy to just getting darker and darker and more pissed as the game went on. Pretty sure I didn't talk to anyone but my Budweisers during the 4th quarter and then... ABSOLUTE JUBILATION! Jumping up and down, yelling, hugging, I still remember who was over and watching that game that day. We walked down to the bar in our Vikings gear after the game just to enjoy a pint and let everyone know that yes, there are Vikings fans in California. Kings for a day, for sure. What a play. I will never have a bad word to say about Diggs based on his time here but also based on this one play alone. Same for Greg Lewis lol.

My son was at the game and texted me before that final drive that "Something big is going to happen. I can feel it!". I was at home moping, and said to my wife "I just got a crazy text from Gabe, good for him, but I'm not feeling it.". A few minutes later it happened; how cool is that? =)
That is pretty cool. I always hold out hope to the end, but that day was looking very bleak.
I had such a headache the rest of the day from screaming. The dogs went nuts, luckily it was just my family watching with me cuz I went bonkers.
This was such a phenomenal moment. I am glad I witnessed it in person. There were 3 elementary school teachers in front of us. They were so buzzed and singing lol. Everyone was hugging and high fiving everyone. I kept hearing people say no way and did that really just happen. I was sitting in the end zone Diggs ran to. When they replayed it the crowd erupted. And then the Skol chant lead by Keenum. It was absolute magic. People stayed for a couple of hours after the game to soak it all up.
Also get chills rewatching that, could not have been better scripted in a movie and the Diggs helmet through was just amazing. Watching that and thinking about that team, two things that come to mind is was that too much emotion to come down from for the championship game and how did we not do all we could to keep that team together for another run.
I have an autographed black and white 10 x 12 of the catch. My brother got it for me from one of his coworkers in Colorado Springs whose relative works for the Vikings <3 <3
I'm rarely on this site or anywhere else for that matter but thought I would chime in to this thread. I actually have the entire chat thread from this game saved as a 44 page pdf file. The miracle hit at page 38

I wouldn't have any idea how to make it available to everyone. If someone knows how, I could email to them (I think)

I was sitting behind the vikings offense and on the side the pass was caught (Somewhat corner 5 yard line) so we didn't know if Diggs stepped out or not so we had to wait for the replay as he was running away from us. Hearing the crowd go nuts a second time was awesome and just as exciting. I went with my dad, father in law, and then his nephew/my cousin through marriage (Lives there). Cousin through marriage was so mad that we gave up the lead that he actually left the game and was swearing up a storm as he left his seat haha.
I was really hoping the Vikes would get enough yards for a field goal, then that D-Bag Sean Payton mocked the skol chant and that play happened. The look on the Saints fans faces after the game was great...doesn't make up for them stealing a Super Bowl from the Vikes but it definitely helped. Then we tried driving back to Iowa, made it about 1.5 hours and had to crash at a hotel for the night due to snow...My Dad, Father in law, and I got absolutely effin smashed. Great time
I was there too...
Damn near walked out with about 2 minutes to go too.
Glad I didnt.
