The Seattle Seahawks are moving on to the divisional round after a 10–9 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Seattle’s win was greatly aided by Vikings kicker Blair Walsh, who missed a potential game-winning field goal with less than 30 seconds to go.

Of course, the big play spurred reactions from people around the sports world. It started with the players on the field, where Vikings players Brian Robison and Adrian Peterson were stunned.

​Seahawks defensive linemen Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril and Bruce Irvin were a little more excited. 

Players from the Arizona Cardinals, who could face the Seahawks in a potential NFC championship matchup, had some thoughts as well.

A couple former Vikings also got in on the action.

And a bunch of other people made the same joke.
