Road To The Superbowl
The Vikings lost only twice during the regular season by a combined total of five points. That record brought them to the NFC Divisional game where they beat the Redskins thanks in part to 100 yard rushing games from Foreman and McClanahan. The Vikings then beat the Rams in the Championship game on an afternoon in which the wind chill factor plummeted to 12 below zero by games end. This left the Vikings entering their fourth Super Bowl having lost too the Steelers ('74), the Dolphins ('73) and the Chiefs ('69).
As with their previus trip to the big game the Raiders lost only one game during the regular season (again on week 4 but to the Patriots this time). In the divisional play off game they faced that team again. They came away with a victory but that was thanks to two 4th quarter touchdowns, the last of which coming with just 10 seconds remaining on the clock. This lead to a repeat of the last two AFC Championship games. Games the Raiders had lost but this time the Raiders shutdown the Super Bowl champion Steelers, winning by a score of 24 to 7.
