The stunning comeback Sunday against the Denver Broncos revived memories of the greatest Vikings comeback I've witnessed, one that occurred at a unique place in time, featuring a cast of future Hall of Famers, head coaches and television personalities in a game that signaled the effective end of the Mike Ditka Bears.
On Oct. 4, 1992, the Bears played the Vikings at the Metrodome. Years earlier Ditka called it "The Rollerdome," and longtime Vikings General Manager Mike Lynn had Vikings cheerleaders wear roller skates on the sideline.
It was that kind of rivalry: Intense yet fun.
