This is a bit of a sad weekend for Minnesota Vikings fans. Any time the purple and gold aren’t part of the Super Bowl, it breaks the hearts of those devoted to the team a little more and makes the question of when a championship will ever come to the Land of 10,000 Lakes seem a bit direr.
Still, there have been some good things to pay attention to after the Vikings’ season was over. Justin Jefferson was in contention for Offensive Rookie of the Year and former Minnesota pass rusher Jared Allen was named a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
