The Minneapolis Miracle is not only the biggest play in the history of the Minnesota Vikings, it’s one of the best plays in NFL history.
After the Vikings blew a 17-0 lead over the New Orleans Saints in the 2017 divisional playoffs, Case Keenum threw a beautiful deep corner route to Stefon Diggs on the final play of the game, and Diggs took it for a 61-yard touchdown.
Until that point, the Vikings hadn’t had anything like that happen to them. The Minneapolis Miracle felt like a turning point for the franchise. It didn’t end up that way, as the Vikings lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC championship game. That loss was one of the many reasons that the Vikings signed Kirk Cousins the following offseason.
On “The Herd” Thursday morning, Colin Cowherd talked about Russell Wilson and relating the hate for him to Tim Tebow being called corny after his failures and Cousins after he threw the Minneapolis Miracle.

Talk about a mistake from Cowherd.
