A great finish could be coming in Minnesota -- and a blocked extra point could end up being the difference.

The Vikings lead the Cardinals 30-24, after an Arizona touchdown cut the deficit from 13 to 6.

The game turned for the Cardinals after a fumble from Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford, who was hit while throwing. The fumble came after an apparent fumble from Bradford was ruled an incomplete pass on the field, and upheld via replay review -- likely under the same reasoning that NFL senior V.P. of officiating Dean Blandino provided last months when explaining the decision to uphold a ruling that Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler had fumbled when trying to throw.
