One of the damnedest plays I've ever seen at any level. All he had to do is tackle him, and he had perfect position to do that and just ducked under him.

I think Marcus Williams got spooked he'd get a flag for hitting Diggs too early so he avoided it, thinking someone else was there to make the play. It was a great throw. Even if Williams didn't whiff, Diggs might've been able to fall out of bounds.

The guy dropped his head on the tackle. Something you are taught not to do in middle school. Also you would think guys would pay attention to what happened to Shazier.

I don't understand why he didn't just try to stand him up. You don't need a bone jarring play right there to try to knock the ball out. Just keep him in bounds and the game is over.

That being said, I was pulling for the vikes.

Worst attempted tackle ever. Almost like that dude was on the take.

Tackling in the NFL is now nearly nonexistent. Most defenders now just try to hit a guy so hard that it knocks them over, instead of wrapping up and tackling. And here's a classic example.

Been a Vikings fan since I was six. Even before I was a Cats fan. The excitement of that play equals any i've experienced in sports.
