Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell had a trick up his sleeve for Sunday Night Football. 

With the Vikes up 17-15 with about 9 minutes to go in the game, the team seemed set to punt it back to the Broncos. 

However, the ball was instead snapped to Ty Chandler, who scurried for a 31-yard gain on 4th & 4. 

Many Vikings' fans were likely nervous, thinking Russell Wilson was getting the ball back. Instead, Chandler prolonged the drive with a perfectly-executed fake punt. 

The fake was just part of a big night for Chandler. The backup running back has 9 carries for 73 yards thus far. Chandler also has come down with 4 catches for 37 yards. 

With just over 5 minutes to go in the game, the Vikings were driving, still up 17-15.
