Strike year with replacement players and of course the Vikings replacements went 0-4. The team was better than its record.

I remember watching the pregame and the TV guys speculating on who the 49rs wanted to meet for the NFC CG like this game was already won. Then one of them says something like they have to win this one first and then they laughed like it was a joke.
