The last month of the Vikings’ 2009 season was like watching a slow-motion car accident in a movie.
Having just gotten up to speed, Brett Favre, AP, and company swerved down the stretch of the regular season only to find themselves regain traction in the first round of the playoffs.
Ultimately though, that traction came too late, and ran smack into the barrels of water put in front of where the exit splits from the interstate.
Like said figurative car, and their quarterback, the Vikings were totaled after a go-for-broke season ending in heartbreak.
2010, well, that was the year the Vikings got their car towed, arriving at the body shop of the new season a dilapidated mess.
