Here are the highlights of the NFL game day.
Brutal space storm Fans beat goalkeeper bloody
It starts incredibly: The Colts are up 33-0 following two quarters. Thirty-three to zero!
Wrong first touchdown: A Vikings punt by Ryan Wright in front of his own end zone is blocked. JoJo Domann runs into the end zone with the egg.
Who wants once more, who hasn’t? Deon Jackson and Julian Blackmon screw the result up to dizzying heights with their touchdowns. In addition, kicker Chase McLaughlin is accurate.
The Vikings try everything – but somehow nothing works! Punter Wright doesn’t kick the egg away — but gets to pass to surprise! His throw lands on the opponent. A used day…
Twitter Cheer! The NFL is rightly celebrating the Colts’ defensive performance at halftime.
Finally the Vikings score! With 8 minutes and 22 seconds left in the third quarter, KJ Osborn scored a touchdown. The extra point is also right. Only 7:33 left…
The next prank of the Vikings! CJ Ham charges into the fray and somehow makes it to the end zone. touchdown! The kick now makes it 14:36 because the Colts just made a field goal.
Well! What’s going on here? Justin Jefferson, the Vikings’ touchdown machine, hits. boom! touchdown! After a cool body illusion. With kick it is only 21:36.
Hammer scene: Jefferson is hit hard in the chin. The helmet almost flies off his head. The collision can be heard loudly in the stadium and on TV. The Vikings star has to leave the field and is of course being examined for concussion in the medical tent. But he comes back.
And the wild Vikings catch-up hunt continues! Adam Thielen with another touchdown. With kick only 28:36.
Huge excitement! The Vikings celebrate another run into the end zone by Chandler Sullivan following a Colts fumble. But the referees call it back! Wrong decision — the Vikings are raging!
CRAZINESS! 2:15 left on the mega run: Dalvin Cook runs and runs and runs for the Vikings touchdown! A 64-yard run! After 0:33 it is now 34:36.
Minnesota goes for the two-point conversion: Kirk Cousins fires the ball to TJ Hockenson. THE COMPENSATION!!!! The fans in the stands and probably all football fans worldwide are freaking out.
It’s going into overtime! It goes back and forth there. Until the Vikings have a chance to win by field goal seven seconds before the end. From 40 yards. Greg Joseph shoots — and scores! Victory for Minnesota!
Never before has an NFL team caught up from such a large gap to victory.
CRAZINESS!
Cleveland Browns — Baltimore Ravens 13:3
A touchdown by Donovan Peoples-Jones and two field goals by Cade York and an extra point from him are enough for a surprising victory.
Not much works with the Ravens. Among other things, a field goal attempt is blocked.
Buffalo Bills — Miami Dolphins 32:29
Pre-game snow chaos in Buffalo! Minus 3 degrees, snowfall around Highmark Stadium. And what does Dolphins pro Jaelan Phillips do? He warms up in shorts and shirtless…
Quintin Morris scored the first touchdown in the top game following a pass from Josh Allen — and the Bills fans fired snowballs with joy!
The only problem is: The Bills Mafia fans also throw the snowballs at Dolphins players and camera people throughout the game. After that there is a threat from the refs that next time there will be a yard penalty once morest the Bills…
Touchdown number two for the Bills comes from Nyheim Hines, who celebrates with a backflip. Until then, the Dolphins only managed two field goals through Jason Sanders.
But the Dolphins can also do touchdowns! Salvon Ahmed does it! With a Sanders kick it is only 13:14.
The Bills Strike Back! Allen runs away from the defenders and runs and runs — and sees James Cook in the end zone. touchdown! With the last second of the first half!
How fitting for the freezing cold weather: Jaylen Waddle celebrates his touchdown for Miami with his penguin waddle celebration as usual.
Doll from the Dolphins: Tyreek Hill catches Tua Tagovailoa’s wide pass in the end zone. With an extra kick, Miami is 26:21 in the lead. Expanded by a 47-yard field goal. to 29:21. And the snow flurry just keeps getting worse!
First there’s a fray on the outside line that’s snowballing once more — then there’s a Bills touchdown: Dawson Knox brings Buffalo on. The hosts go for a two-point conversion to level in the fourth quarter. And that’s only from the 1-yard line because the Dolphins suddenly have one man too many on the field and are penalized.
What is Allen doing? He throws himself into the end zone but loses the ball. Touchdown anyway? The video referee checks the scene — and says: Touchdown! Very tight thing! Compensation!
Visibility is getting worse because of the snow! During the kick, a teammate even has to hold the ball because the wind is so strong.
Who will become the Snow King? Bills kicker Tyler Bass comes on the field with two seconds to go. His teammates quickly clear away the snow with their hands. Shot from 25 yards. Despite the strong wind, the thing goes in! 32:29 — the Bills qualify for the playoffs!
