  • The 2-0 Vikings are just heating up. With the loss of Brad Johnson in week 2, Randall Cunningham is now handed the keys to the offense. Also making his first start is Lions rookie Charlie Batch.

    A lot of things made the '98 Vikings one of the best teams ever- maybe the best year of any team that didn't win a super bowl. They were loaded with talent but I think what was the most important part was their offensive line. I don't think I've ever seen an offensive line any better. They were big strong and quick.

  • @KobeIsG.O.A.T

    98 Vikings is the best team ever. They were jinxed . 15-1 , set all kinds of records. MVP QB, rookie of the year, 1300 yd rusher, 3 wrs with over 80 catches etc etc and we lost because of a chip shot fg against Atlanta. I remember watching that game in literal disbelief
