Former Minnesota Vikings head coach and longtime assistant Jerry Burns passed away on Wednesday at the age of 94.

From 1969 to 1976, the Minnesota Vikings were one of the most dominant teams in professional football, and they ended up earning a total of four trips to the Super Bowl.

Unfortunately, the Vikings were never able to come out on the winning side of these Super Bowl matchups. But the success of these Minnesota teams will forever be etched in the team’s long history.
