APPLETON, WIS. – The Vikings have had their issues with touchdowns of late, but what happened Friday night was ridiculous even for them.
Their team plane slid off the runway at snowy Appleton International Airport and become stuck in the grass, causing players, coaches and staff to be stuck on the aircraft well into the night — only hours before the Vikings were to play the rival Green Bay Packers in a must-win game for their playoff hopes.
“While taxiing after a safe landing, the team plane slid off the runway and became stuck,” the Vikings wrote on their Twitter account.
