The Minnesota Vikings enter the playoffs as a wild card instead of a Super Bowl favorite, but Cris Carter insists they are just as dangerous as last year.
Last year is a sore subject among the Vikings.
I think we were very upset. But besides that, I'm not going to elaborate on that much. They won their final three games after defensive lineman John Randle was moved back inside and Robert Tate bolstered a second-rate secondary. But their 8-2 finish wasn't enough to defend their NFC Central title, won by Tampa Bay. The Vikings are a remarkably healthy team, so it's not like they needed the rest.
