On Sunday night, the Minnesota Vikings battled the New Orleans Saints in a classic NFL match-up. The Vikings ended up winning the game with a spectacular touchdown by Stefon Diggs in the closing seconds. It was a true miracle moment for the Vikings, but Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard didn't seem to have a strong reaction to the final play.

Lilard is normally laid back and calm, so it makes sense that he wouldn't have any emotions about the play. In fact, Lillard is from Oakland, California, so he probably doesn't follow neither teams. Nonetheless, the game-winning touchdown was one of the greatest moments in Vikings' history.
Saints fans must have been heartbroken to come back from a 17-0 deficit only to lose in the final seconds. Rationally, Saints fans from across the world couldn't have been too happy about the outcome or their team's effort to prevent it.
Lillard's stoic expression represented just about every neutral party who happened to watch the game. As Diggs runs gleefully to the touchdown, you can clearly see Lillard grin a bit, then return back to his nonchalant mode. the Blazers guard is normally an aloof person, so this capture shouldn't catch anyone by surprise. In fact, if he had his role reversed with Diggs, he would have likely ran the touchdown with a clear expression on his face.
The Superbowl is set for Feb. 4, so it stands to reason that Lillard won't be too excited on the outcome. However, the Blazers play the Suns on Tuesday night as Portland tries to cement a spot in the postseason. It's safe to bet that Damian Lillard will have his game face on by that time.
