This continues the time-honored tradition of Vikings not being particularly good in the playoffs.
Tiger Woods = Vikings with most regular season wins without a playoff win
John Daly = Giants with least regular season wins with at least one playoff win
That Daniel Jones and that contract went from the giants to the Vikings really is icing on the ~~cake~~ graph
The fact that Trevor Lawrence won a playoff game was completely erased from my memory
Edit: looked it up, how did I forget the chargers choking a 27-0 lead??
As a Vikings fan this is mostly due to two fluky seasons. I wouldn’t put much into this until the sample size is bigger. KOC just keeps getting lucky in 1 score games.
