There are a few moments throughout the history of the Minnesota Vikings that feel like missed opportunities. The Vikings’ recent failure to earn a trip to the Super Bowl in 2017 certainly falls under this category, as do the team’s losses in the 2009 and 1998 NFC Championships.
Former Minnesota defensive end Brian Robison was a member of the team during their last two conference championship losses and they still haunt him to this day.
Robison was in the Twin Cities on Wednesday for his retirement press conference and he couldn’t help but bring up the Vikings’ loss to the New Orleans Saints in the 2009 NFC Championship.
