Fans of the Minnesota Vikings who pay attention to national media are used to their favorite team being ignored. While much of the attention around the league goes to teams like the Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots, or Green Bay Packers, the boys in purple are quietly grinding away hoping to make some noise during the 2016 season.
It may be a lack of a major market. Possibly it is the lack of players with massive personalities or legal issues that keep them out of the headlines. But something is keeping most major media outlets from talking about the great play from many of these Vikings players.
