Over the weekend, our friends over at Vikings Territory found what I think is a pretty impressive stat, and one that I think needs to be shared with a greater audience. So, in the event that you didn’t see it there, you can see it here.
Throughout their history, the Minnesota Vikings are a team that has gotten a reputation for falling apart at the worst possible time. . .and, for the most part, it’s pretty well-earned. However, no team has been more “money” with a late lead than Mike Zimmer’s squad.
Since the start of the 2016 season, the Vikings have taken a lead into the fourth quarter of a game (regular season and postseason) 42 times.
