EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- What the Minnesota Vikings have accomplished so far in the postseason is unprecedented. They are the first team to play in the conference championship in the same year that their home stadium hosts the Super Bowl.
But history hasn’t been kind to the Vikings in its most recent trips to the NFC Championship. Minnesota has lost its last five conference title games, which is the most such losses without a win in the last 40 years, according to ESPN Stats and Information.
Case Keenum would not only further his legend if he leads the Vikings to their first Super Bowl berth in 41 years, he’d help buck this trend of losses.
