Page "Minnesota Vikings" Paragraph 31

During the 2003 season, the Vikings came close to getting into the playoffs.

However, the Arizona Cardinals completed a game winning touchdown on 4th and 28 with 0: 00 left knocking the Vikings out of the playoffs.

The moment of Arizona's touchdown was actually the first moment the entire season in which the Vikings hadn't led their division.

The Vikings became the second team in football history to miss the playoffs after getting off to a 6 – 0 start.

The first team was the 1978 Washington Redskins.
