The Minnesota Vikings came into Philadelphia favored by 3 points in the NFC Championship, but suffered an ugly loss to the underdogs.
Riding the wave of one of the greatest game finishes in NFL history in their 29-24 win over New Orleans, the Purple People Eaters made the trip east to Lincoln Financial Field for a shot at Super Bowl LII. A night which expected an epic matchup of two of the league’s best defenses yielded a show that was tough to watch. Minnesota lost 38-7 and ratings for the evening conference championship game this season were down 12% from last year.
