Curse no more: Case Keenum desperation heave sends Vikings to NFC title game

MINNEAPOLIS -- Keenum to Diggs. Just like they drew it up.

With time running out and the window to punch their ticket to the NFC Championship closing, Case Keenum exorcised all of the Minnesota Vikings playoff demons with one heroic, career-defining throw.

Trailing by one, Keenum dropped back and stepped up into the biggest play of his life, launching a last-second bomb that was caught down the sideline by Stefon Diggs for a 61-yard touchdown reception. The Vikings wide receiver caught the pass over Saints defender Marcus Williams, regained his balance upon coming down to the ground and turned up field untouched.
