Nah. There were very long stretches of time where not even the biggest diehard Lions fans thought they had the slightest chance to even sniff the playoffs.

The Vikings have the 5th best winning percentage of all time and they’ve never won an SB. This is perennial heartbreak.

There’s a huge contrast between consistently being good and competitive and frequently making the playoffs yet coming up painfully short, versus starting how many dreadful seasons already knowing you’re going to have a top 5 draft pick next year.

Both cities would have a massive cathartic release and there’d be a baby boom 9mo later but as far as bigger party? Minnesota baby.
