Another year, another dreary January for Vikings fans.
Just over a year ago, the Vikings were playing for their postseason lives against the New York Giants at home on wildcard weekend.
It’s funny to look back on the two teams that comprised that matchup. Both teams went through a regression in the year that followed, but curiously, the result of that game was a misnomer.
It is abundantly clear that the Giants’ downfall was much more severe than the Vikings’. Entering that matchup, the narrative was that the Vikings were the best fraudulent team of all time, and the Giants were just happy to be going to the dance.
