I was asking myself that same question yesterday.The Monday after the Super Bowl, also known as the most reflective day of the year for fans of the 30 NFL teams not participating in the season’s biggest game, will bring a moment when you’re reliving Super Bowl XLIX with your co-workers or friends and the subject will shift to your own rooting interest.
“So, how close are the Vikings to winning a Super Bowl?”
What are your thoughts, VMB?The franchise turned 55 on Wednesday and is still in pursuit of its first Super Bowl victory after striking out four times in the 1970s. The Vikings have witnessed 38 seasons come and go, some forgettable and others unforgettable for all the wrong reasons, without an opportunity to hoist the Lombardi Trophy.
If it happens next year, it’d be a miracle. So temper those expectations, but it’s understandable to have a sense of optimism after head coach Mike Zimmer’s first season.
