1998 week 14 Bears @ Vikings

[@Devlins10]

Dan Patrick and this Sunday night crew were arguably the best ever.

[@s.tavares3257]

Probably my second favorite crew after Madden & Summerall. Their chemistry and humor were great.

[@ctuna3360]

This Vikings team was fun to watch!! I still can't believe they didn't make it to the Super Bowl.

[@s.tavares3257]

Football is the only major American sport that is only 1 and done. They beat the Falcons 8 times out of 10 imo.

[@baracksays9401]

Nothing better than being in the Twin Cities when the Vikes are a winning team. The Dome was ROCKING.

Eagles fan here but this Vikings team was so fun to watch, thanks for posting

[@tinakane4451]

I was at this game as my family had season tickets. The laugh my cousin let out when Rudd picked up the fumble an run down the field an stopped right before the goalline before before slowly creeping over the line as the bears players got close is something ill never forget in my entire life!!!!

[@deanladue3151]

I remember that the league fined Rudd for it, and Coach Green considered benching him for the rest of the game. Rudd was a very talented player who could be a complete meat head at times.

35 now this is the year I fell in love with the Vikings and football. Also the year I had my poor 10 year old heart broken fro the first and surely not the last time!🥹

[@s.tavares3257]

@@afmoney161 yea I hear you brother. My heart was broken in the NFC Championship Game that year also. And in 2009 as well. One day.

I was at this game. Thank you to whoever uploaded this. It’s like a time machine.

[@rickchyczewski576]

This is like a time machine. Thank you for this. I am a longtime vikings fan and when we picked Moss I knew this team would be special. I started my annual "this is our year" bs right after the draft. Funny thing is a guy I work with kept telling me, before the season started....the falcons will win the NFC. I made fun of him. I laughed at him. Weekly. Right up until OT in the championship game. Its pretty remarkable he called it like that as they came out of nowhere.

Thanks for uploading this. I didn't get a chance to watch much of Moss's rookie year. Love being able to see more than just highlights from his great rookie season.

[@s.tavares3257]

You’re very welcome.. I remember that magical year. I was listening to sports radio talk about Moss, and how other teams didn’t want him because of his off the field stuff.. but once I heard him going to the Vikes, I knew he was going to flourish cuz he had Cris Carter & Denny Green to guide him... but even I didn’t expect him to have as great of a season he did. It was an awesome time.

[@deanladue3151]

Looking back all these years later, it's still rather stunning that the '98 Vikings did not go to the Super Bowl. They wouldn't get that close again until the '09 Vikings with Brett Favre.

Yea.. welcome to being a lifelong Vikings fan, filled with bittersweet memories 😢.

[@ryanleone3007]

Oddly Sunday night football was better on ESPN and Monday Night Football was better on network tv (abc then, nbc now.)

[@AlexAcostaArt]

1998 was the one season where all the networks had awesome graphics packages!

[@InYourHouse316]

I LOVED this aspect of that era in football. Personally I loved 1999 just a tad bit more with ESPN and CBS slightly improving. But I get your point! I thought I was the only one out there who had an appreciation for such small details in the game.

[@travislindberg6463]

These commercials are the best

[@TheBzoldos32]

Love hearing how Gary Anderson hasn't missed and is the only perfect kicker in the NFL.....

[@bearstown19show]

As Bears fan it was my 1st watching football! RANDY Moss is Greatest W.R ever

[@jrodlange8099]

I'll never forget the draft from 98. My roommate at the time and we're hoping for some secondary help. Moss wasn't even on our radar as he figured to be long gone. And on a side note, we couldn't stand Moss based solely on the shades he sported at the Heisman ceremony. Then when it looked like he might make it to our pick, my buddy and I completely changed direction. Funny, previous bias's went out the window when there was chance he could wear purple. Holy cow the next 8 months were one helluva ride

[@quiksix25]

Painful ending for you- Gary Anderson's only missed FG of the season in the NFC Championship Game if I remember correctly

[@deanladue3151]

I remember when Dallas passed on him that's when i knew he would fall right into the Vikings lap.

[@XVRJP]

1:43:41 I only thing I remembered the before this video was the Vikings being up 27-0 at the half and the “this just in, the Minnesota Vikings, they’re good” line from Chris Berman

[@MrBowtie1982]

not shown was the Seattle - NYJ game where enough Phil Luckett screwups led to instant replay finally coming back in 1999.

[@Superkuh2]

Leroy Hoard's sideways bounces and breaks this game were amazing.

[@Intangedous1]

If I recall, the 64-yard catch and run in the 1st quarter by Moe Williams was the only time he was targeted that season.

[@phineoustrout2899]

I thought that couldn't be right, so I looked it up. Not only was it his only time targeted all season, it was the only time he touched the ball from scrimmage that season. His 1998 line reads 0 rushes for 0 yards, one catch for 64 yards.

[@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews]

that field looked so cool

[@kylec7381]

[@ceddygwap2795]

[@quiksix25]

I miss Prime Time

[@patrickr2691]

I remember the insane Moss hype. The commentators talk about him literally the entire game, even when Vikings are on defense. He captures 90% of the conversation.

[@chrisuncleahmad789]

Can you blame them?

He Is great

[@jamalmccoy3233]

It's almost a shame that this Minnesota Vikings team did not win it all that 1998 season... Crazy!!!

[@grxracer-1606]

The most powerful Vikings team ever assembled in my lifetime and they would not even make it to the Superbowl. Keep in mind they never led in any of their 4 Superbowl appearances. Much like Dan Fouts, Buffalo Bills and Dan Marino this team is cursed.

[@phineoustrout2899]

Not a single point in the first half of any of their Super Bowls.

[@BigHeeboMane]

98 Vikings one of the best offense of all-time. I thought they were gonna win the Super Bowl

[@Thekidyusuke]

1990s commercials feel so nostalgic

[@jbsmg]

What an offense they had.

[@shoganguy33]

I still feel like this is my all-time favorite announcer booth.

[@s.tavares3257]

Definitely a great group. They balanced it other out perfectly.

[@InYourHouse316]

They had a certain charm. I remember this era of the NFL very fondly, partially for the broadcasters. Mike Patrick, Joe Theisman and Paul McGuire made you feel like you were watching a game listening to your dad and uncles talk football. I loved it.

[@timvandenberg1707]

I have been wondering if you can find a Vikings game where they play the Atlanta Falcons in Atlanta before they got the George dome I think is was back in about 1993 where Chris Carter made a great catch and a Atlanta Falcons played at Minnesota where deon Sanders was a rookie

[@chrisuncleahmad789]

Tim Vandenberg Those games were in 1989 and 1991, respectively BTW

[@jbsmg]

It was in Fulton County Stadium.

[@becomeanolive1637]

1998 waa such a magical Viking year, Falcons were a disaster in the Superbowl.

[@skwira000]

Vikings should have got roughing the kicker. When they went up 20-7 Moss was wide open in the endzone and Cunninham threw to Carter who was covered. So many opportunities.

[@jayNicks10]

Broncos saw the Falcons win the NFCCG and were very relieved and even said, well we won the super bowl. They did NOT wanna face the Vikings in the Super Bowl.

[@nicholasrogers7823]

The conviction with which announcers can look at a replay and be completely wrong never ceases to amaze.

[@justna9516]

I didn't know Jake played that long.

[@davidkrutsinger5414]

Vikings defense held them to 14 total yards in the 1st half and the idiot announcer in the middle says the vikings defense is questionable.

[@s.tavares3257]

In part he was correct. The Bears qb that day was Steve Stenstrom who had a career qb rating of 62.5. Very poor by nfl standards. Our offense that year was one of the best ever. Our defense wasn’t poor, but was very average.

But still he makes that field goal no one is complaining about play calling. I'll say FALCONS were hot in the playoffs

[@s.tavares3257]

Andrew Hoyle Denny Green had a history of being conservative. The man was a GOOD coach, but definitely wasn’t a GREAT coach. Great coaches win championships, he wasn’t able to win in the postseason.

[@andrewhoyle1521]

Well if ANDERSON makes that kick theyre at least in SB. He can turn bad teams around but can't get to the promised land

[@dalegribble1560]

The Falcons won that game only to be decimated by the Broncos. The Vikings very well may have put up a better fight, but they wouldn't have beat the Broncos neither. John Elway, Terrell Davis, Shannon Sharpe, Rod Smith, and Ed McCaffrey would've easily exploited the the Vikings Defense. Terrell Davis alone could've tore up that Defense that gave up 248 rushing yards to Tampa in their only loss in the regular season.

Michael King how’s it not true? Only reason the gushed about Moss was because no other rookie receiver made that much of an impact that he did. A rookie will always amaze over a veteran because they’re rookies. It’s not difficult to get.
