The Vikings Don’t Have Room For A 2003 Arizona Cardinals Moment

The Minnesota Vikings are currently fighting for a playoff spot, and the memory of a painful loss in 2003 serves as a cautionary tale. In the last game of that season, the Vikings had a straightforward path to the playoffs: a win over the struggling Arizona Cardinals. However, with seconds left, Cardinals quarterback Josh McCown completed a game-winning touchdown to Nate Poole, ending the Vikings’ playoff hopes and handing the NFC North title to their rivals, the Green Bay Packers.

 

Now, as they face a similarly critical stretch, the Vikings need to stay focused to avoid a repeat of that shocking season-ending upset. A “2003 Cardinals moment” would be devastating, given the competitive playoff race. Minnesota must capitalize on every opportunity, especially with key games approaching, if they want to secure their postseason position this year.
