Reply #8: How did the Lions "lose it"?

[Robeson]

Even if they had made the extra point, it would have only tied it. Then it would have went to overtime. They couldn't stop us, anymore than we could stop them. If we win the coin-toss in overtime, we probably win. So how did they "lose it"? At best, by making the extra point, they would have given themselves a 50-50 chance of winning, based on who won the coin-toss in overtime. But we would have had the same 50-50 chance. And yes, the final score said that we won it - we didn't screw up any extra points, and because of that, we won. Nothing is a gimme in football. Hell, as Vikings fans, we ought to know that better than anybody!
