Torrey Smith was home early Sunday evening, rolling around on the floor with his 3-year-old son, T.J., when he watched a football miracle happen on TV. It made him remember a smaller one.
The game on his television was the one everyone was watching, Vikings-Saints in the NFC divisional round, the winner to face the Eagles this Sunday with a shot at the Super Bowl in the balance. With the Saints leading by a point and 10 seconds left on the clock, with the Vikings on their own 39-yard line and out of timeouts, Smith, like everyone else, thought the game was over.
