The Minnesota Vikings are one win away from becoming the first team to ever play in a Super Bowl in their home stadium.

On Sunday, they beat the Saints in a game that will be remembered as one of the greatest finishes in NFL history.

Trailing by one point with 10 seconds to play, quarterback Case Keenum threw a desperation pass that Stefon Diggs caught along the sideline. He stayed on his feet and in bounds and made it to the end zone for a 61-yard touchdown reception. That gave the Vikings a 29-24 victory and a berth in next week's NFC Championship game against the Eagles in Philadelphia.
