It was all about the game being played outdoors: subzero temps, camera batteries freezing, beers turning to slush as you drank them. All that hype, and you could understand why Vikings fans felt so confident, especially with a 9-0 lead after the third. But Russell Wilson pulls a miracle out of a broken play, Purple Jesus fumbles, and the game-winning kick goes wide left. 10-9.

If there is one thing the Minnesota Vikings do well, it’s lose. And when they do lose, they do it in spectacular fashion. Whether it’s 4 Super Bowl appearances without a win, Gary Anderson missing a game winning field goal in the 1998 NFC Championship, or Brett Favre throwing a game ending interception in 2009, Vikings fans don’t get sad or angry – they just become blank. Completely and utterly blank. Somewhere in Minnesota right now, two 8-year-old brothers are crying.

Heartbreaking, like for this man and his dog:

Or this fan, who’s wearing a Jets shirt, so he probably just has money on the game:

But at least they’re not these fans, who were actually there and thought it was good:
