The Minnesota Vikings were the ones to deal out the playoff heartbreak this time.

After watching their 17-point lead be erased, the Vikings connected on a last-second touchdown strike from Case Keenum to Stefon Diggs to push past the New Orleans Saints, securing a 29-24 win to advance to the NFC Championship Game.

The victory keeps alive Minnesota's hopes of becoming the first team to play in the Super Bowl as a host. The Vikings will face the Philadelphia Eagles on the road next week.

The Eagles defeated the Atlanta Falcons 15-10 Saturday night. The Saints are one of the Falcons' fiercest divisional rivals. Falcons fans were having a lot of fun on social media after the game:
