Ask a Minnesota Vikings fan which team they hate the most and they’ll likely say the Packers. Push for other teams that disgust them and they’ll probably dig out the Bears, Lions, and (of late) Saints. Ask them if they hate the Falcons and they’ll probably say no, but their eyes will also cloud over and they will appear to be looking beyond you, as if your question opened a portal in time and all they can see is the 1998 NFC Conference Championship Game.
Make no mistake: That’s the big moment from this particular rivalry.
