Both the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers have clinched a playoff berth. There is certainly a lot at stake in Sunday's rivalry tilt from Minneapolis, including their respective positioning in the NFC Playoffs.

The Packers and Vikings both cannot clinch anything additional this weekend, but can certainly improve their position to do so the following week.

The Packers could be the 5, 6 or 7 seed in this year's NFC playoffs, while the Vikings could be any of the following: 1, 2, 5, or 6.

Minnesota Vikings In The Super Bowl? Yep, I Can Remember All Four

It's that time of year, the time when everyone is talking about the NFL's upcoming Super Bowl.

It may be hard to believe, but there was a time when the Minnesota Vikings went to the Super Bowl.

And then they went again. And then again. And then again. Hey, we were one of the greatest teams of all time!

Unfortunately, it was the same time the Vikings lost the Super Bowl. And then again. And then again. And then again. Well, at least we must have been one of the second-best teams of all time!

For a whole lot of Vikings fans...you know, the ones who walk around with younger bones...the Vikings have never been to the Super Bowl.

Then there's the ol' dog that is me. I remember the first time... and the second... and the third... and the fourth.
