The Minnesota Vikings incredible walk-off touchdown by Stefon Diggs came after New Orleans Saints safety Marcus Williams missed a crucial tackle, allowing the receiver to sprint for the end zone.

After the contest, Williams met with media and explained that he thought he was early on the play and missed his man as a result.

While it's easy to harp on the rookie for his mistake, it's important to remember that his third-quarter interception was a massive play to get the Saints back in the contest.
