The Green Bay Packers lost the NFC Championship game in embarrassing fashion — something Minnesota Vikings fans continue to not let them forget.
When the Green Bay Packers lost the NFC Championship Game on Sunday afternoon, fans to the west of Wisconsin rejoiced as though their team had won the game. In reality, the Minnesota Vikings own the 11th overall pick in the draft and missed the postseason by a considerable margin, but that didn’t stop Vikings fans from trolling their division rivals like never before.

The trolling started on Twitter as the NFC Championship game was slipping out of the Packers fingers, as Vikings fans rubbed it in the way so many Packers fans have rubbed in similar failures Minnesota has had in NFC title games. From the Gary Anderson missed field goal in 1998 to the debacle in New Orleans in 2009, the Vikings have had the worst of luck in title games over the last 30 years.
So, naturally, when the Packers had a collapse reminiscent of so many Vikings failures, fans got in line for some self deprecating trolling. The best troll so far though — and proof that Vikings fans are truly giddy over the Packers loss — was seen at the Minnesota Wild game on Monday night.
One fan used a hockey game and front row seats to let the Packers know that fans in Minnesota were still slapping their knee over the NFC Championship game loss.
This is probably taking things a little too far, but hen again the Vikings and Packers have no love lost between the two fan bases. Packers fans have been blessed with two Hall of Fame quarterbacks over the span of 20 years while the Vikings have had better teams, at times, yet no success at all.
It was an epic troll job that highlights just how hateful the Vikings-Packers rivalry still is. The two teams may be on wildly different talent levels, but there is no love lost at all between the fan bases who will take shots where they can get them and make them count.
