The New Orleans Saints needed star wide receiver Michael Thomas to show up on Sunday in the NFC Wild Card Game against the Minnesota Vikings following the two teams' ā€œMinneapolis Miracleā€ game from January of 2018.

Michael Thomas, the 26-year-old three-time Pro-Bowler, made a memorable catch at the beginning of the second quarter, toe-tapping along the sidelines to haul in a 15-yard reception (via NFL).

Thomas led the league in receptions in 2019, bringing in a new record of 149 catches, besting former Indianapolis Colts receiver Marvin Harrison for the single-season record. Thomas also led the NFL in receiving yards, totaling over 1,700 in the air while being thrown to by Drew Brees and mid-season sub Teddy Bridgewater.

Thomas' sideline catch wasn't enough on that drive by the Saints, by the home team later scored a touchdown on an Alvin Kamara goal line rush to take the lead in the first half against the Vikings.
