In 2003, it was a December loss that helped turn a 6-0 start into a missed playoff berth. In 2009, a Monday night defeat cost Brad Childress and Brett Favre a shot at home-field advantage.
Adrian Peterson missed the bus to the stadium before a blowout loss in 2012, and chaos reigned in the first of five last-minute losses for the 2013 team. A game clock malfunction led Teddy Bridgewater to throw an end-zone interception — on a pass he believed was a last-second Hail Mary — with 42 seconds left in 2014. Norv Turner resigned as offensive coordinator the day after the 2016 game, the groundwork for John DeFilippo's ouster was laid in 2018, and Stefon Diggs skipped two days of practices and meetings after the Vikings scored six points last year.
