The "Minneapolis Miracle" almost never happened, former Vikings quarterback Case Keenum said earlier this week as he peeled back the curtain on one of the greatest recent moments in NFL postseason history.
At an event for Denver Broncos season ticket holders, Keenum revealed he had planned to throw the ball to Adam Thielen but, upon going through his reads, Keenum saw the Vikings' Pro Bowl receiver was no longer an option.
Instead, his throw to Stefon Diggs in the final seconds sealed a 29-24 victory over the New Orleans Saints and a trip to the NFC Championship game.
