Watch this slower video, where you can see a wire get up slowly and the ball pretending to hit it and change direction when their paths crossed:
No one on the ground seemed to complain about it and it raised eyebrows in the initial diffusion. It was not addressed after the match by the Vikings.
But I cannot ignore the apparent proof of what I saw. The ball has made a strange direction just when it crossed the path of the thread.
Fortunately for the Vikings (and the NFL, by the way), the missed kick became a … wait … bottom note At the end of the game.
Although Minnesota’s probability of victory dropped up to 18% at the end of the match, they made their last trip. Carson Wentz was a perfect 9-en-9, including the winning TD pass with 25 seconds to Jordan Addison, and the Minnesota escaped with a 21-17 victory.
If the Vikings had ended up losing three? I cannot imagine what the return flight would have done for players and fans.
