Vikings road to Minneapolis
Third down and 10. Ten seconds left in the fourth quarter. Inside the play that saved the Vikings season
As you probably know by now, the play (unbelievably so) has "Seven Heaven" in its name. Two words some of you might never forget. Case Keenum hit Stefon Diggs, and he took it the rest of the way for a 61-yard touchdown as time expired. The full name for the play, according to Mike Zimmer, is "Buffalo Right, Seven Heaven." Buffalo often refers to receivers being bunched together, as was the case on this play, on the right side. A "seven route" is often one of the deeper routes of a multiple-route package, routinely to the corner. Diggs did just that. And heaven only knows where the "heaven" came from — but it sure was fitting.
