So catching a football is now considered a miracle? Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed watching the game . In fact, I was on a 5 hour plane ride yesterday with free TV on SWA. Maybe it's me, but I'd consider watching that football game real time on a plane 35,000 feet going 600 mph wirelessly on my paper thin iPad the real "miracle".

If he was, his Momma dropped him on his head.

That was one of the greatest moments in Sporting history let alone the Viking's. Wow, just wow. It was like the hand of God came down for one moment in time.

It's hyberbole to describe a moment that was unexpected and which many people, as fans of the Vikes, enjoyed. Of course, you know that. No one thinks it's an actual "miracle."

It was a great sporting moment. One to remember for at least a season. If that gets them to the Superbowl and they win, that will be one to remember for a lot longer timeframe. But a "miracle"? Naw. It was just another great catch (and throw) done in nearly every professional football game. The 1st two tosses came up empty and eventually executed on the 3rd pass. Then they were helped by a Marcus Williams rookie error; by lowered his head and shoulder in an attempt to drive toward Diggs' legs. Oops on his part! That will ruin his off season.

It was truly a special miracle play! It was more than just a routine catch. The timing was essential. There was zero margin for error here as it was the game's last play with the Vikings trailing by a point!

Diggs leaped high to catch it over a defender. He was very close to the sideline and losing his balance. He put one hand on the ground to regain balance, then raced to the end zone for the winning TD!

Skol Vikings!
