Their luck had to run out eventually.
The Minnesota Vikings finished the 2022 season with a 13-4 record, but the scoreboard didn’t tell the whole story. Ranked 27th in team DVOA (yes, you read that correctly) with a negative points differential, the Vikings were viewed by many as false kings of the NFC. An absurd 11-0 in one-score games, the Vikings were playing with fire all season, needing feats like a record-setting comeback against the Indianapolis Colts or an absurd goal-line sneak/kneel fumble by the Buffalo Bills to eke out victories.
No more.
