The Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints kicked off Sunday’s Week 4 action with a thriller in London that came down to the last second and was decided by a double-doink missed FG attempt on a 61-yard field goal attempt by the Saints that somehow didn’t bounce through for three points.
The Vikings were able to hold on to the 28-25 victory and improve to 3-1 with the win but I’m still not sure how that kick by the Saints didn’t fall the other way and send the game to overtime.
This incredible angle on the replay shows just how close it was:

The upright stopping the ball dead in its tracks is pretty amazing. https://t.co/TKshV7W3iN

Usually I’m on the other side of this kind of thing so I’ll take a double doink going in my favor https://t.co/UZr3THw8h0
