"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 |
Oakland Raiders (15-1) |
Minnesota Vikings (13-2-1) |
