Minnesota Vikings Upset New Orleans 26-20 In Wild Card Game

Not one of the Fox analysts picked the Minnesota Vikings to win over the Saints.

The New Orleans Saints lost the chance to go to the Super Bowl the year before with the play that brought us the no-call rule. New Orleans claimed the officials didn't call a push-off by the wide receiver that wound up being the winning play. The year before the Saints lost to the Vikings with the Minnesota Miracle.
