NFL locals: Missed tackle on game-winning TD overshadows Marcus Williams’ first career playoff interception

Former Utah safety Marcus Williams went from a hero to a goat, all in a heartbeat of a gut-wrenching loss in the NFL divisional round of the playoffs.

His missed tackle on the game's final play overshadowed an otherwise solid day for the New Orleans rookie in the Saints' 29-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

With Minnesota facing a third-and-10 from its own 39 and trailing 24-23 with 10 seconds to play, Vikings quarterback Case Keenum rolled back in the pocket and threw a pass to Stefon Diggs along the sideline at the Saints' 34-yard line.
