I had hope. I thought they had a really good shot at getting into field goal range. And they did! Had Diggs' been tackled they were in solid position to win the game. Only problem is... the kicker would have crumbled under pressure.
Even after the catch, which would have put them in field goal range even if he went out of bounds, Paul sounded down. It wasn't until Diggs stayed in bounds with no one in front of him that he ramped up.
Same Yeah I am probably the #1 Vikings fan I was watching this game with my dad and we were like mine as well watch the final play lets just put it this way my moms ear drum burst.
I'm a Broncos fan, but I LOVE the Vikings announcers. They've called SO many heartbreaking moments, this is truly awesome to listen to. You can almost SEE them huggin and hoppin with joy lol
@@mambaboy1982 13-4 4700 yards 29 TD Kirk Cousins doesn't scare you? if you are a packers, saints, cardinals, lions bears, bills, commanders, dolphins, jets, patriots, or colts fan he does. how about you do some research on stats before making a boneheaded reply like you did.
Then how come he sounds so angry all the time? Even when the Vikings pull off a Hail Mary, he sounds angry. I certainly wouldn't want him as my dad, that's for sure.
It's just his voice dude, chill. He's also passionate AF about the Vikes, which is part of what makes him so fun to listen to, especially on plays like this one.
Sorry but Merrill reese buddy and before him THE GREAT HARRY KALAS RIP MAN know that man was the great he died doing what he loved haf a heart attack in the booth.
A little help please: I get the Prince-Minnesota connection, but what’s the “48 and drizzling” reference? Is that part of the Purple Rain lyrics? Thanks!
I remember tackling my father in the living room when this happened. One of the greatest game ending catches ever. This play call still gives me chills to this day
Happened so quickly and the stunning disbelief of the moment....I find it amazing Paul Allen didn't choke up in the middle of the run. I was speechless in the stands. I was fully convinced there would be a penalty flag thrown--if for no other reason the team in Purple isn't supposed to win games like this.
I'm not a Vikings fan, but this is truly one of their greatest moments. And if you are a Vikings fan, and you see this, and you don't get a lump in your throat and a tear in your eye, then you're somebody I don't want to know.
@@sambehrens - same here. I haven't even felt that strong a desire to go to anymore games since because it was so electric in that building I can't think of anything that will ever match it. though I still watch every weekend, I just decided to save my money for other more important things.
As I commanders fan this is my favorite moment in NFL history. I remember watching it live in disbelief. It brings a lump to my throat just to think of the pure adrenaline and excitement that went through each and every Vikings fan. Something I hope to experience in my lifetime.
This video is my ring tone. I’m from St. Paul MN. Whenever my phone rings in public, people still smile, one little guy had memorized the radio announcers call, heard my phone, he starts in, I joined him, a small crowd gathered and at the end, high fives all around. What a great play.
I was at a bar in San Jose and the entire place leapt up and cheered! I've never seen that as a transplant from MN. My buddies were all slapping me on the back, knowing what a big moment it was for a lifelong fan. It's just one of those great plays of the game that takes us beyond team fandom.
I'm pretty sure Paul came up with *_Minneapolis Miracle_* to use at the Super Bowl (because broadcasters in the past have said they play around with catch phrases) but I give him credit for dropping it when this happened. And you can tell it wasn't really that spontaneous because he knew it was partially talked over the first time so he made sure to repeat it. 😂😂👍
If you were listening to the radio broadcast he mentioned before the play that they needed a "Minneapolis Miracle" so you were right that it wasn't spontaneous.
@@prepaidtrash5552 They got to go to the NFC Championship and if they won that then they’d play a Super Bowl in their own Home Stadium and possibly win their first Super Bowl ever. But then my Eagles beat tf out of the purple chokers 38-7 😂
@@alexdeghost2729 Yeah vikes scored the first TD in that game extra quick an then it was all downhill from there! The Eagles played out of their mind that game. Seems like my Vikes might have the opportunity to return the favor to your Eagles this year if we both make the Championship game again!
I remember watching this play and it seemed like it took 4x as long. I remember wanting him to go out of bounds for every step the first six steps before I realized no one could stop him.
This is why you NEVER give up. This is why people love the game of America football so much. Amazing can happen at any time. Growing up in MN and watching the Vikings all my life i was in absolute disbelief. This kind of stuff doesn't happen for the Vikings it always happens for the opponent. Wife and I were speechless, literally.
I was listening to this, it was snowing pretty hard and the roads were bad. As soon as announcer went crazy the car just ahead me lost control and slid into the ditch. I always wondered if they were listening to the game also
Lmfao the fact that they call KFAN just a simple " Home radio broadcast" is hilarious. Everyone in my family listens to KFAN, the guys are hilarious and their coverage is great. I know I'm late but SKOL VIKINGS
I don't feel bad for Marcus Williams as much as I do for Drew Brees. Dude is too good to only have one ring and is constantly held back by that defense.

SOME GREAT QB'S DON'T GET ANY RINGS, MARINO, FOUTS,TARKINGTON.
I wouldn't feel too bad for Drew, his earnings from rookie in 2001 to this year 2017 totaled, $198,933,000.00 gross. So at appx' 50% taxes he has taken home appx' 100 million dollars and that doesn't include any of the other money, athletes earn.
The best part about this for me, I was at a bar with a buddy of mine that was a huge Vikings fan. All night some NO fans had been mouthing off, trying to pick a fight with my buddy. Boy when this happened he had the biggest "F U" grin for those d-bags.
Man, I remember watching this game live listening to this call. I was HYPED. My brother and sister law and their kids were town and everyone was sleep. I was air punching hard asf.
As a Seahawks fan this just shows that NFL has luck like Walsh's missed kick but nice play by the Vikings and congrats on advancing to the NFC championship game
Im calling 35-12. After that horrid performance against Atlanta, they never saw the End Zone?! Just a buncha field goals. Diggs and Theilen will make the Beagles look like rookies, we'll pick em apart. Vikes will score TD's, Eagles will score Field Goals.. and we're off the Super Bowl!
I was at the pointe bar in prior lake MN when this happed and when this happened everybody was family I hugged 10 random people that night best game ever
Imagine hearing that as a Vikings fan
I was on my way home from a horribly shitty day at work. Hearing this was an unbelievable mood change.
Brayan
Or saints fan 😭
Although I’m not a Vikings fan, I bled purple and gold for that one play. They have had bad luck for years, and they finally got their break!
Benjamin Moore III believe me I’m only 17 years old but it’s pretty damn hard being a Vikings fan especially from that 2009 nfc championship
Trust me when you’ve never won a Super Bowl this is about as close as it gets
Before the snap, Paul Allen sounded like he had no hope. I didn't either, and probably a lot of other Vikings fans
Yeah, I was there and the stadium noise went from 0-100 from the snap to the touchdown
It ain’t over til it’s over
I had hope. I thought they had a really good shot at getting into field goal range. And they did! Had Diggs' been tackled they were in solid position to win the game. Only problem is... the kicker would have crumbled under pressure.
I went from slumped in my recliner to screaming and rolling around on the floor. A moment I will never forget no doubt
Even after the catch, which would have put them in field goal range even if he went out of bounds, Paul sounded down. It wasn't until Diggs stayed in bounds with no one in front of him that he ramped up.
I am a grown man watching this and I physically tear up every time I see it. Please Vikings, just one ring before we die 😭😭😭
It may be my favorite video of all time
Not even a vikings fan but love Diggs. Makes me tear up every time
Same here. I watch this anytime I want to feel good about life.
Facts brother
My dads getting older and I want them to win to share with him. We hugged and cried during this play
Almost eighteen months later, and I still watch this whenever I need a boost to my mood.
Same Yeah I am probably the #1 Vikings fan I was watching this game with my dad and we were like mine as well watch the final play lets just put it this way my moms ear drum burst.
I’m at work rn lol it’s been 4 years
Yup. 4 years later and still boosts my mood when I need it
Almost 6 still here
Bad day of school, come to this and watch and my mood improves. SKOL PAUL!
I'm a Broncos fan, but I LOVE the Vikings announcers. They've called SO many heartbreaking moments, this is truly awesome to listen to. You can almost SEE them huggin and hoppin with joy lol

Paul Allen is the best team play by play guy in the NFL. That's coming from a Seahawks fan.
you Guys don't have a bad commentator yourselves Sea-hawks -- I love Warren Moon.
@@paysonfox88 The Oiler Warren Moon is a commentator for Seattle?

U should hear him call horse races . Fun stuff

Then how come he sounds so angry all the time? Even when the Vikings pull off a Hail Mary, he sounds angry. I certainly wouldn't want him as my dad, that's for sure.
Him and Merrill Reese are my favorites, and wouldn't you know it they're both going to be calling next week's game in the same stadium.
It's just his voice dude, chill. He's also passionate AF about the Vikes, which is part of what makes him so fun to listen to, especially on plays like this one.

If you were listening to the radio broadcast he mentioned before the play that they needed a "Minneapolis Miracle" so you were right that it wasn't spontaneous.
The "Minneapolis Miracle" was first used during Week 3 of the '09 season when we beat the niners on a Brett Favre Hail Mary.
yup!
One more win and they play the Super Bowl at home...that has never happened before.
The “Minneapolis Miracle” was used plenty of times in the past.........
As a Vikings fan, I cried when I was watching it live. I still cry watching it today. Oh, the good feeling of winning
What was the significance of this game?

Watching this in 2024 and still get chills watching this play and I am a 49’er fan. Viking Fans will always remember this Minnesota Miracle.
Man that complete 180 from sounding completely defeated to suddenly having hope is what makes this
Yeah! The contrast makes it even sweeter!
Highlight Heaven continues to beat the NFL in content
Yeah but he just uploaded the audio, this one has it synced with the video
Norman Hayward people have synced it a while ago
Haha so true love this! Love highlight heaven!
Yeah they prob uploaded this when they saw highland heavens video beat their own on trending
Yeah but NFL puts up the full game highlights. And they put up classic games.
Listened to PA on the radio from my barn while I was milking cows. This was NUTS
Joe The God that's what every Minnesota fan was doing lmao
Joe The God only in Minnesota hahaha
This is such a MN comment, and I love it!!!!
I have to ask, what was that scene like when you realized what had happened? 🐮 🥛
One of the best calls ever. Best sports moment I well ever watch
Paul Allen interrupted his partner's analysis LMAO
Vice versa: Rule of thumb is your analyst is supposed to stay out of the color commentator's way.
2020 and still one of the hardest plays of all time
Hey
Whenever I’m having a bad day I come back to this video. For a brief moment in time my life was perfect
Same here. I always go back to this whenever I’m having a rough patch in my life to tell myself that good things are coming.
PA is the greatest announcer ever
As a Packers Fan, I have to say, that was the best play I’ve ever seen

As a Packers fan
Still gives me chills.
Go Vikings! ✌🏻
Legendary Paul Allen on Radio sends chills down Vikings spine with his play by play
I saw this play live about a year ago and got goosebumps that day and even when I rewatch it now I still get them...
Highlight heaven already has #1 trending. Your a little late NFL.

Are you Lutheran der ya??
I am a Minnesotan
Congratulations vikings, is amazing the feeling in the end of game, i hope see again in the Super Bowl in home. USBank. God Bless Viking.
Biggest mistake the Vikings ever made was not keeping Case Keenum.
Always love listening to hometown announcers on plays like that. They are not afraid of showing passion and emotion.
When the NFL steals Highlight Heaven’s idea
This play will always make me smile !!! 😃 the new JJ 2.0 catch is the best catch, but this catch had the most meaning !!! Skol!!!
I bet all Vikings fans lost their minds out of control when this miracle happened!!!
i broke my table. it was outstanding. worth it.
And the Minneapolis Miracle was born! Paul Allen Goated
Thats Paul Allen for ya.
