Minnesota and Moss battle Eagles, destiny on Sunday
By Alex Friedman | January 13, 2005Allow this writer to hearken back to the days of yore -- 1998, to be precise -- when the football gods came down and manifested themselves as the Minnesota Vikings offense. That was the year that Minnesota, led by Randall Cunningham, rookie sensation Randy Moss, Cris Carter, John Randle and many others, went 15-1, shattering the single season team point total while surrendering the fifth fewest points in the league. At the same time, Gary Anderson established a league record by making every single field goal in the regular season, logging 40 in a row in the 1997-8 season. They should have easily made it to the Super Bowl that year, where I guarantee that they would have dispatched the Denver Broncos handily.
