The Vikings’ radio team had a heartbreaking call of game-ending missed field goal
The Minnesota Vikings lost a game on Sunday 34-33 after Greg Joseph missed a 37-yard field goal wide to the right.
If you were listening to the Vikings radio call, however, you would have first thought Minnesota won its game against the Arizona Cardinals after play-by-play announcer Paul Allen said the kick was good. In a heartbreaking few seconds, the Minnesota radio crew went from jubilation at what they thought was a game-winning field goal to disbelief at the miss.
"It is good! No, he missed it," Allen said.
Joseph's kick hooked right as the Vikings' hopes of victory fell flat.
Allen tweeted Sunday night: "I thought he made it and didn’t wait for the ref to signal no good. I always wait. Today I didn’t and got burned. L on my behalf, no doubt. I wanted them to beat that team so badly. Oh well.
Minnesota dropped to 0-2, while Arizona improved to 2-0 thanks to a big day from quarterback Kyler Murray.
