2017
in their four super bowls, the vikings never led once, so onlookers never saw what the vikings might do with a lead in a super bowl game. minnesota also never scored any points in the first half. turnovers robbed the club from a score on three occasions; two of the opportunities were to take a lead (one in this game). the vikings committed a total of 15 turnovers and forced only three. in their four super bowl appearances the vikings averaged only 56.75 yards rushing (a total of 227 yards on 90 carries for just 2.52 yards per carry), while the “purple people eaters” yielded a huge 215.5 yards average. after kansas city rushed 42 times in super bowl iv, oakland became the third consecutive opponent to rush more than 50 times against the vikings. minnesota also had just a 49.3 team passer rating to opponents’ 105.2. tarkenton in three appearances completed 46 of 89 passes for a mere 489 yards, one touchdown, six interceptions and a 43.7 rating. opponents completed 68.4 percent of their passes. previously against the vikings, kansas city’s len dawson completed 12 of 17 pass attempts for 142 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception for a 90.8 rating in super bowl iv; miami’s bob griese completed 6 of 7 for 73 yards and a 110.1 rating in super bowl viii; and pittsburgh’s terry bradshaw completed 9 of 14 for 96 yards and a touchdown for a 108.0 rating in super bowl ix. in this game stabler completed 12 of 19 for 180 yards and a touchdown, and had a 111.7 passer rating. the purple people eaters were dominated in their final super bowl appearance as oakland set super bowl records of 266 yards rushing and 429 yards total offense. "slate" writer justin peters, after viewing every super bowl over a two-month period before super bowl 50, considered minnesota the worst franchise in super bowl history. he remarked that “the vikings in the 1970s really pissed me off... minnesota went to the super bowl four separate times from 1970 to 1977 and didn’t score a single first-half point in any of those games. the vikings had a really, really good defense, and their offense just kept on letting the defense down, game after game after game.”
