The loss to Atlanta in the NFC title game was perhaps more damaging than any of the Super Bowl losses. With the exception of Pittsburgh (9-6 in the third quarter but a botched extra point was the turning point), the other three were relative lopsided loses.
Yeah, I think the vikings were like 15-1 that year. The most wins of any team up to that point. When Miami went undefeated, I think the season was 14 games or something like that.
The 15-1 viking team lost ...thanks to a missed field goal by Anderson. The most cursed team in Football I think. The Vikings.
