You mean the 1998 playoffs? That’s not the last time the Vikings were in the playoffs. In 2004, they beat Green Bay even though Minnesota was only 8-8 (only the second team to be at 8-8 and win in the playoffs).

No more football for you, Greg. They lost by a field goal. In overtime. I guess it was more horrible to come so close and fail, but I wouldn’t classify it as losing badly.

Thanks for the detailed analysis, though.
