Case Keenum sat at his locker in disbelief, still dressed in full pads, 30 minutes after he delivered the mother of all finishes.
He leaned over in his chair and put his head in both hands, the universal sign of "what the heck just happened?" He checked his phone, which might have set a world record for incoming text messages. Then he paused and stared at the carpet, lost in thought.
At one point, he jumped up and joined his partner in the Minnesota Miracle, Stefon Diggs, for an impromptu photo with the game ball.
"Dang," running back Latavius Murray shouted, "I want to be y'all two."
Yes, it's good to be Case Keenum right now. He'll never have to pay for dinner in Minnesota again."I couldn't believe it," he said.
No one could, Case.
Keenum's playoff debut ended with a moment so surreal that it shook a stadium and defied logic. Down to a final gasp, Keenum connected with Diggs on a 61-yard walk-off touchdown for a 29-24 victory over the New Orleans Saints.
On a play called "Seven Heaven," Keenum's pass and a whiffed tackle by the Saints on Diggs sent the Vikings to the NFC Championship Game next week in Philadelphia.
