Holler: A loss that will sting

Sunday’s wild card loss will sting similarly to those suffered in NFC Championship games, wondering what might have been for the Vikings.

As someone who has been in his share of Minnesota Vikings locker rooms, there are times when there is exuberance and jubilation – perhaps the highest of that being in the cramped visitors locker room in Green Bay in 2009. There are times when it is like a funeral – the best examples of that were at the Metrodome following the 1998 overtime loss to Atlanta and in 2009 in the overtime loss to New Orleans.
