Two years later, a look back on the day that changed Vikings history forever

The news only got worse and worse as people started to comprehend the severity of the injury. And then came the Mike Zimmer press conference, where the visibly emotional coach recalled his wife’s passing when talking about the situation. It was an awful day for the Vikings community.

On the field, the team had been gearing up for a Super Bowl run.
