The Super Bowl will be played Sunday and the Vikings won’t be in it for the 10,000th year in a row. All right, maybe it’s not that long but it sure has been a while. Anyone 45 years old or younger either wasn’t born yet or still was in the googoo-gahgah stage of life the last time the Vikings played in a Super Bowl.
In that last one, Super Bowl XI, they lost to the Raiders. Before that, they lost to the Chiefs, Dolphins and Steelers in Super Bowls IV, VIII and IX.
The Super Bowl between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs is the LVth.
