....so the Jags are in the AFC Title game...
Saints scored a field goal to put them up with only a few seconds left so I leave to take a shower.
I get out and see the Vikings somehow won and I missed it.
Ok, on the Vikings/Saints fantastic finish (and I'm kindof a Drew Brees fan)... I think, not entirely sure and nobody can confirm it, that the safety on that final play was going for a tackle that was specifically between the receiver and the sideline. He was targeting off-center so that he could keep the receiver inbounds to run out the clock. Nobody would say he's an idiot for tackling the guy out of bounds when the saints lose to a vikings 52 yard field goal (not that that was a guarantee), but he was (I think) playing for more. He was trying to win the game right there by keeping his man in-bounds. He just misjudged slightly and ended up being the fall guy.
Great game. I've missed a ton of football this year, but something tells me I tuned in for one of the best moments.
SB Prediction: Minnesota 26 New England 24
We're tantalisingly close to a Bortles/Keenum Super Bowl.
