It's 4th and 5, you're at midfield, you're defense hasn't stopped the opponent all day long, and you need 2 scores to clinch a playoff spot in the final 8 minutes. What do you do? Well, if you're Mike Tice and the Vikings, you punt the ball away and then watch helplessly as the other team drives effortlessly down the field and consumes most of the remaining time on the clock.
When the Vikings got the ball back with less than a minute to play, they immediately threw a 2-yard pass. 2 yards!!
The Vikings lost their way into the playoffs on a botched Lions extra point attempt 2 weeks ago and a Panthers loss at home to the Saints on Sunday. Now they have to go to Green Bay and play the hated Packers in the playoffs.
And the Head Coach in charge of this fiasco was given a contract extension in the middle of the collapse! Now we have to watch this train wreck for another week.
