This Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings will begin their playoff push in the wild-card round after not making it to the postseason last year. The Vikings will be taking on the New Orleans Saints, who they defeated in miracle fashion during the 2017 playoffs.
Back in 1987, the Minnesota team coached by Jerry Burns defeated the Saints on the road in a first-round postseason matchup and the Vikings then went on to grab another upset win over the San Francisco 49ers on the road the very next week. Yes, those 49ers who dominated the NFL in the 1980s.
