I say 09 because they had like 6 turnovers, on the road, and still should have had a chance to win it. I’ve rewatched that 98 game and the falcons played well enough to win. The Vikings offense was not itself in that game IMO
And I vividly remember every one of them except 87. They were all horrendously painful. 09 probably the worst because that team would have won the super bowl. Not sure about 98
I think the Vikings are like 6th in all time winning percentage across the league. Their failures have been from choking, not from lack of trying, making moves or spending money
