| 0:00.0 | Okay, Mani, I know you need about 0.5 seconds to think about your most interesting |
| 0:11.3 | Rogers versus Vikings moments, but I give you about a minute there. So what do you got? |
| 0:16.6 | Well, I brought up 2012 already. That's kind of the one that stands out to me the most because that felt like that |
| 0:23.3 | week's 17 game at the Metro Dome felt like it felt like a playoff. |
| 0:28.4 | I mean, essentially was a playoff game for the, certainly for the Vikings because |
