Hear what Diggs told teammates before his TD


Stefon Diggs' game-winning, 61-yard touchdown catch will go down as one of the most stunning plays in Vikings history. Yet, it was the moments before the epic play that served as the perfect prelude to the touchdown.

After the Saints' go-ahead field goal with 25 seconds remaining, the New Orleans sideline already jumped into celebration mode as if the game was done. Sean Payton was visibly pumped (and mocked the Skol Chant). Alvin Kamara had his own premature celebration with an Airhead.

Diggs, though, was locked in.

The NFL released the SoundFX video from the Vikings-Saints game, giving fans a listen into the sideline conversation just ahead of the touchdown.

A focused Diggs said, "Let's go." As Kyle Rudolph told Diggs they were going to score.

When it actually happened, the Vikings' reaction was priceless. It was the miracle they were ready for.
