"We never scored enough points to win a Super Bowl. Everybody says you win with great defense. I don't believe that. Great defense can keep you in the game, but you win it with great offense. Most of the winning Super Bowl teams had great offensive games."
-Vikings LB Wally Hilgenberg, reflecting on four Super Bowl losses
