For the 31st time in 62 seasons, the Minnesota Vikings are heading to the playoffs. They hold the NFC’s No. 3 seed after boasting a 13-4 record. Forget their negative point differential. This team is battle-tested, winning all 11 one-score games in the regular season. Sure, their losses were ugly. But they know how to win big games when the stakes are high.
No matter how they got here, the Vikings are the best team to never win the Super Bowl. If you were lucky enough to watch Joe Kapp and Fran Tarkenton throw the rock, you saw the Vikings consistently represent the NFC, only to walk into AFC buzzsaws.
