A past of angst will lead to a successful season for the Minnesota Vikings in 2021.
The 2017 Minnesota Vikings season has fueled the blind optimism of its fan base for the past few years.
Minnesota’s success that year weathered the perfect storm. From going 13-3 and winning the NFC North, to the “Minneapolis Miracle”, to the Kirk Cousins signing that offseason, it gave the Vikings fan base another reason to spew out that gut-wrenching “next year is finally the year!”
Of course, that giddy optimism ultimately ends with some catastrophic ending to a season that is followed by heartbreak and unhealthy coping mechanisms used by Minnesota fans.
