Pat and John best commentators ever

This was the first season that i became a Vikings fan. I'm hopeful that Sam Darnold can play the same way in 2024.

The good old days part 2

3 plays from this game should have been made more famous in the following decade of playoff glory....AC punt return, the halfback pass and ofcourse the dang hail mary before halftime!

This is what the Vikings do to the Saints in the playoffs when the Saints don’t cheat and the refs aren’t on the take.

Hassan Jones was the best reciever the vikings ever had

Loved A.C. he was a special talent.

They seem to be a rivalry

A little useless fact that Leo Lewis's dad Leo Lewis Sr. played for Bud Grant when they were in Winnipeg. Skol Vikings & go Bombers!

Miss this football.. MISS these announcers...

One of the finest passes by a non-quarterback ever @ 7:47

The Saints hadn't been to the playoffs before this game ever they weren't built for us..

Bucky Scribner sighting!

The next to last game I watched with my dad. He and I , and my youngest brother, were all diehard Viking fans. We got to see this victory together. And then the next week vs SF..... Then my dad passed away two days before the NFC Championship game. Memories I'll treasure forever. And @7:02 .....one of the greatest throws Wade Wilson ever made. I was yelling my approval.

Bugs Bunny let a fart at the end of the game.

Sad day for me and my “Who Dats”. But what an amazing season for the Saints and to be a part of that craziness in NOLA that year.

This game is from the 1987 season. John and Pat. They were the announcers of my young adulthood...as well as Charlie Jones. And now they're all gone. And for cryin' out loud, Vikings need to go back those those unis from that era. Of course, no one wears sleeves nowadays...

This was the playoffs for the 1987 season. The Vikings record was 8-7 BUT they went 0-3 with their strike players because every single one of their regular players sat out the strike. So their "real" record was 8-4 which would have been considered more than just respectable by most analysts. Even so, the Saints were clearly the second best team in all of football that year behind the 49ers. In any other division they would have been champs and overall second seed but being in the west with 49er's they ended up as wild card. With that in mind, nobody, and I mean absolutely NO BODY, except us bleed purple Vikings fans gave Minnesota any chance at all here. This was one of those wins, just like the following week's upset of San Francisco at Candlestick, which brings warm memories to the hearts of Viking fans everywhere. At the same time, it absolutely sucked the life out of the Saints fans who had to be thinking "what in the world do we have to do?"

Steve Jordan is the father of Saints defensive end Cam Jordan. Talk about a small world.

Saints were the better team. They just had a bad game

Lol. Saints twelve men in the huddle before halftime. Dont worry vikings returned the favor in 2009 nfc title game. Same stadium.

I totally forgot they had replay back then!

John Madden: "His fathers nickname was 'Deke', so he was 'Deke Jr.' but then they decided that it's too long a name a for a little kid." 😂😂

Reading these comments only frustrates me further since I did all the same but for some reason I can't talk through the mic.

They were so close that year, strange to see Wilson, Kramer, and Gannon 💜 ! Great video, thanks for sharing !!

So you buy this... then you have to buy other shit as well...? No thx. Good video tho!!

And the Vikings kicked their ass again the next year 45-3

I enjoyed this game immensely because the Saints were being talked up so much.

Pleasantly surprised✹✹>JustU.Faith/Logit-Headset?H yet not (because Logitech) on how well these sound and how light and comfortable they are. I use mine with Xbox One (plugged into controller) but also works and sounds great on PC using the USB adapter.

Saints never showed up. They were by far the hottest team in the NFL going into the playoffs, and Minnesota totally and completely kicked their asses.

Browner was a bad ass. Vikes had maybe the best secondary in the NFL that year.

The Vikes need some of this magic tomorrow.

8-4 without the strike games. Next round... Joe Montana benched at halftime and not due to injury.

I miss hearing Madden and Summerall commentating games. Those two were the best.

Hard 2 believe that Wade Wilson died exactly on his birthday. R.I.P

Get some claritin

Anthony Carter still holds the Vikings record of 227 receiving yards in the playoffs.

Hey i got the headset and the splitter and the sound and mic work fine it’s just I hear static and it’s annoying. Can you help?

Wish I had that Titanfall controller :(

Title is misleading. Yes the game occurred in 1988, but this was the 1987 season.

I was listening to the game in my car during the opening drive when Kramer fumbled. I remember the guy in the car next to me cursing and pounding his dashboard.

Hassan Jones #84 before Randy Moss used to make catches like the Hail Mary

So, I can't use the headset adapter only, I need that thing that goes into the controller, I got them for Christmas and still don't know how to use them

R.I.P. Wade Wilson. Saints looked pretty weak on D that day.

I get no audio from the headset with my Xbox but my mic works. And the headset works on my phone. What’s the problem

Even more impressive was how the Vikings took care of 49ers the following week

I miss John Madden

I got the same ones

Can you just plug it at the back?

Vikings won two road playoff games in 1987. They've won two road playoff games since (@ NYG in 1997, @ GB in 2004).
