Shock and skol: Saints' stunning loss to Vikings is an all-time heartbreaker

Minneapolis - Unbelievable.

Time, they say, heals all wounds, but I'm not sure it will ever help unboggle the mind after the Minnesota Vikings' stunning 29-24 victory against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

It will take days, perhaps weeks and months to process the wild, improbable and sudden finish to the Saints' 2017 season. For the Saints and their loyal legions of fans, grief counseling might be in order.

The NFC Divisional playoff game between the Vikings and Saints was over.

The Saints were 10 seconds away from one of the most improbable comebacks in NFL playoff history, a back-from-the-dead rally from a 17-0 halftime deficit.
