It’s the 1980s. The Vikings’ storied Fran Tarkenton/Purple People Eaters era has ended. Seems like the party’s over, right? Believe it or not, though, the truly wild times are just now beginning. This is when we begin to understand who the Minnesota Vikings truly are.

A few goofs to note:
• In the “Minnesota game temperatures” scatter plot, we believe we might have missed a small handful of games. However, the data is still broadly accurate.
• Regarding the 1982 Falcons game, there’s a goof on Jon’s part. One Falcons touchdown was a pick-six, so special teams only accounted for two touchdowns; however, all three were non-offensive touchdowns.
• At around the 30-minute mark, the Vikings' losing seasons in 1979 and 1981 were complete oversights by Alex.
• Minor labeling error: this chart reflects the final six games of each teams, not final six weeks.
• It was Wade Wilson, not Tommy Kramer, who lofted the ball about 48.5 minutes in.
