NFL 2018

[Midwest Spy]

I saw that the Vikings / Packers game went overtime and ended in a 29 / 29 tie MS.

The 49ers / Lions game was a close one too.

Fortunately, we managed to beat Detroit by 3 points.

I really hope we have a winning season this year.

The Vikes game, particularly the 4^th quarter and OT, was really unbelievable.

The Packers led 20-7 entering the quarter, and had a chance to ice the game with a TD twice inside of 2 minutes to go, but each time had to settle for a FG.

Minny went the length of the field with 1:45 to play and scored a TD (on an incredible throw and catch) and then had to get the 2 point conversion as well (which we did). However, we left 31 seconds on the clock.

Aaron Rodgers then moved the Packers to our 34 yard line with 4 seconds left to set them up for the potential GW FG.

Just as Mason Crosby was getting set to kick the GW FG, our coach called timeout. Crosby still kicked it, and it was good, but didn’t count. He then tried it again, AND MISSED.

Onto overtime.

We got the ball first and stalled at the Pack 31 yard line. Out trots our rookie kicker and he misses his second FG if the game. I’m thinking it’s iver now, but the Pack screws up their drive and has to punt.

We get it back and Kirk Cousins leads us to the Pack 17 years line with 3 seconds left. A chip shot 35 yarder is up next and the Vikes win.

Wide right (for the 3^rd time).

And that’s how you end up in a tie.

We shouldn’t have won, we should’ve won and then I guess the appropriate outcome followed.
