I forget the year (sometime in the 90’s, I believe), but ESPN mentioned it happening to Miami.
Vikes weren’t blacked out - 20,000 tickets sold since Tuesday.
They were one and done…as expected.
Buy hey…they are div champs…that is something (and I’m not being sarcastic) 
I was visiting family in Texas, and was at this game. I can’t believe the Texans actually beat the Bears in a game that the Bears had to win.
It truly does suck that the Pats could go 11-5 and not make the playoffs, particularly when teams like the Cardinals (9-7) and the Chargers (8-8) made it in. Only 5 of the 12 teams in the playoffs had better records than the Patriots. :dubious:
