The Minnesota Vikings might officially be on to Week 11 and the hopeful next big win of their season against the Dallas Cowboys. Still, it’ll be a long time before anyone forgets this clear Super Bowl contender’s incredible road 33-30 win over the Bills.
It had everything. A Minnesota comeback, galvanized by a ridiculous Justin Jefferson catch that might also be one of the greatest catches of all time. A fumbled snap by Josh Allen in the end zone — among other complete chaos — that let Minnesota take a late pole position. Even 12 Bills (in a huge missed call) were on the field during a crucial play in overtime.
And as that chaos unfolded during the Vikings’ seemingly improbable victory, the team’s radio play-by-play announcer Paul Allen was filmed during the madness. Unsurprisingly, he was riding the same up-and-down exciting wave of emotion as everyone else watching at home:

Man, does it get any better than Allen’s emotions there? Honestly, that’s how a hometown commentator should call a game!
When even the play-by-play announcer that sees every play for a team is taken aback by the action — you know you’ve just witnessed a beyond-wild game.
NFL fans loved seeing Allen ride the same wave of emotions as them during the Vikings' big win
So, so, so good. https://t.co/socbJa2XcI

I feel bad for those just getting introduced to @PAOnTheMic this week. He's been doing this for a long time, a staple of Sunday road trips when I was a kid. So much passion!#Vikings https://t.co/ObvL8CPSQ6

All radio announcers should be this way. You’re the voice of a team. Those fans want emotion. https://t.co/w4SUfETksa
