The Vikings/Ravens highlights start at about :40. I remember this game, all the KO returns for TDs.
What an offense they had. Randall Cunningham looked so confident and they all looked like they knew they were the best. Too bad the NFL ended that season without playoffs
The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." #SKOL2018

Just noticed a stat line fro Jim Harbaugh for the game....... 16-26 212 yds 1 TD, 1 INT
A successful coach needs a patient wife, loyal dog, and great quarterback - and not necessarily in that order.

What's so funny? That's a great day for Ponder.

No ####. That's a "turned the corner, looks like we've found our franchise QB" kind of day for Ponder.

Harbaugh's numbers were serviceable in that era. Teams actually focused on having elite RBs and didn't just pass, pass, pass

Man that offense was so much fun to watch. Nothing like turning on the game and watch Randy do his thing. We could score at will and that is why I will never understand Green taking a knee with just under a minute left. I am still pissed at that move

Absolutely a great blast from the past. Man oh man, do I miss the '98 Vikings! They were the most exciting Vikings team I've ever seen.

True. And he's supposed to be smart enough to coach. So maybe he's a late bloomer and we'll see him in another 15 years on the sidelines.
