Rams TD.
Vikes fans panic meter increases a smidge.
But the play that will eat at Olsen is the fourth-down pass with 1:53 remaining. Newton took the shotgun snap and, with some pressure in his face, threw it up about 10 yards downfield for Olsen.
Olsen, however, had only gone about 5 yards because of confusion. The ball fell harmlessly to the ground near midfield.
“I didn’t do a good enough job of getting the play call. I wasn’t sure what was happening, then the ball got snapped on me,” Olsen said. “I was just trying to get to the first-down chains and figure it out. I didn’t even really run a route. So I would love to have that play back and get out on them and run.”
Arians is ruthless.
I'm confused, I wasn't exactly paying attention when they showed that replay, how was that not a safety?
For everyone who was wondering WTF happened on that Panthers' 4th down play to Olsen
In hindsight, maybe a timeout would have been appropriate to get everyone on the same page. They had time.
"Charles Johnson came up to me and said, 'Who are you?' and I said to him, 'I'm a Super Bowl champ and a two-time NFC Champ. Who are you?'" said Schofield, formerly with the Seattle Seahawks. "They're trying to tell me, 'You're going to be at home while we're in the playoffs.' I don't care."
Looked like the ball crossed the plane back into the field of play just a tiny bit as he was hit
Somewhat on the same topic. I guess there was a lot of back and forth during the game due to how the Panthers acted in the previous game. This quote was in a article on espn:

Probably the best comeback I've ever seen. I don't care for either team, but I wouldn't know what to say to that if I were Charles Johnson.
Vikings game is turning into close to a must win at this point. If St. Louis holds on against Seattle and the Vikings lose to the Giants, it's far from a sure thing that they'll get in.
If the Vikings lose @ Packers, Seahawks lose vs. Cardinals and Falcons beat the Saints (I'd say the Cardinals, Packers and Falcons are all the favorites there), then the Vikings don't make the playoffs.
Crazy how quickly things can turn.
