Fans of the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams have spent most of the 2017 NFL season feeling a lot like Will Byers at the beginning of Stranger Things Season 2.
[NOTE: I promise there will be no major Stranger Things spoilers in this article. I still have four episodes left of Season 2 myself. So if you haven’t watched it yet, don’t worry.]
Like Will, we’re both one year removed from nightmarish ordeals that almost killed us. In Minnesota, we endured a catastrophic knee injury to the future face of our franchise.
