Cinderella needed a bit of help

All the work and toil, the game against Denver was in the bag and it came down to the result of the Minnesota game.

Four months of regular season games, six weeks (or so) of camp, several multi-day mini-camps and countless hours refining technique, watching films and grunting in a weight room.

I couldn't even watch anymore and wandered off to hang out with my mom. I thought it would all be for naught...

And then Arizona helped out in the biggest way possible by beating the Vikings on the very last play of the game. Had the pass from McCown to Poole failed, or the review gone the other way, I'd have been in a funk for a couple days. NFL football is a crazy damned sport at times and I'm very grateful not to be a Vikings fan right about now.
