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.

I don’t recall the play but this article details the controversial call which kept the Dolphins unbeaten that season.

“That was the worst call ever,” Lurtsema said. “Without that, they wouldn’t have made history. I’ve told (Griese) that before, ‘I never roughed you, you faker.’ ”

“The 15-1 viking team lost ...thanks to a missed field goal by Anderson.”

That was the only field goal he missed the entire season.

It was a perfect example of what Vikings football has always been.
