Thursday marked the third anniversary of the legendary “Minneapolis Miracle” that resulted in the Minnesota Vikings making it all the way to the 2017 NFC Championship.
We recently looked back at that moment and discussed how things might be different for the current Vikings if that miracle play never happened.
These thoughts were also brought up on the latest episode of The Viking Age Podcast by myself and TVA staff member, Chris Schad.

During the episode, Chris and I discussed how it’s possible that Minnesota might not have pursued Kirk Cousins during the 2018 offseason if they didn’t make the NFC Championship in 2017.
