The 2010 Minnesota Vikings didn’t turn out like the 2009 version, who came within one win of playing in the Super Bowl. Instead, they struggled from the beginning of the season, and going into Week 5, the Vikings were 1-2 and looking for ways to win football games.
The Vikings had lost their young receiver, Sidney Rice, to a hip injury in the off-season, and in a dramatic move, then Vikings’ head coach Brad Childress, (somewhat of a de facto general manager at the time under new owner Zygi Wilf), decided to rock the world of the NFL and trade for New England wide-receiver and former Viking legend Randy Moss.
