When he caught it, the crowd immediately knew... I would love to know the decibels in that place at that moment!

I've been going to Viking games since the Met. This is THE LOUDEST I have ever heard it at a Viking game. Seriously.

Was it at that exact moment, too? The moment he caught it, the place absolutely erupts!

Omg! It was insanely loud, definitely loudest ever. People were crying and hugging. Some people were stunned looking at the big boards to make sure of what they actually saw.

It was loud through-out the entire game man...Crowd was good when we were on offense. It got pretty quiet in there till after that catch. And yah, it erupted and just kept building...

We had two Saints fans in our section. They were pretty well behaved. But I did hear the 'who dat' chant at least twice throughout the stadium.

And yes the stadium was LOUD!!!

Probably for Diggs throwing his helmet off, but it wasn't applied when they lined up for the "extra point."

That angle is awesome and I love hearing the stadium erupt into cheers when Diggs makes the catch. Just an amazing moment that erased a lot of bad memories.

Does anyone know who the guy in the jacket that ran along the sidelines with Diggs is? I initially thought that maybe it was his brother, but his brother Trevon (CB/WR for Alabama) was at the game but not on the sidelines. Is he one of the ball boys or a practice squad player?

was wondering the same.  He was carrying a yellow hat and looked like he wasn't supposed to be there but said screw it and ran out to hug diggs.

The game was over when Diggsy threw the helmet.  Time on the clock read 0, so I would think it was perfectly legal to remove his helmet.

Looks like Case and Diggs knelt down, either in prayer or to kiss the ground.

It might have been something that was enforcable on a kickoff too I suppose if there was time on the clock.

Everyone lost their minds on that play, I bet even that ref woke up today like "did I throw a flag?! I dont remember!"

As awesome as the view is, the audio may be better! The crowd literally erupts when he catches that ball. On TV, we couldn't tell if a defender had an angle... Live, I have to imagine short of him tripping over his feet, the crowd KNEW he had a clear path.
