Looking at the game from Vikings perspective
If I were a Vikings fan I'm not sure I would ever get over that loss. Who will ever forget 12 men in the huddle? The two franchises went in complete and opposite directions after this game. Looking back, the stakes were even higher than they appeared.
The Superbowl was lagniappe. For me, the greatest Saint's game will always be the 2009 NFCCG, the game that put us on the map and validated a franchise, transforming us from losers to showing we could contend on a world stage. Everything changed for us with that Hartley field goal. It was emotional, it was fantastic, it was the greatest game we have won IMO. I will never forget that game.
