There's some pretty good ones in here...

Surprised not to see anything from those Dolphin teams or Lynn Swann too.

I would venture to say it is because nobody really had a great game against the Vikings in their four Super Bowls.   Yeah, Csonka, Harris, and Davis had great running days against the Vikings but it wasn't the other teams offenses that did the Vikings in, it was the massive amount of turnovers by the Vikings that left the defense on the field way too long.   I saw where Carl Eller said the Chiefs MVP was Jan Stenerud, he said no kicker in the NFL could have made ANY of the three he made and would have all been punts in the NFL.   Both Alan Page and Jim Larsen said Little, Kuechenberg, and Langer were all holding like crazy in the first quarter and a half and after they bitched to Referees it got stopped buy by then it was 17-0 and the damage was done.

Super Bowl IV:  Vikings had 5 turnovers to Chiefs 1
Super Bowl VIII: Vikings had 3 turnovers to Dolphins 0
Super Bowl IX:   Vikings had 5 turnovers to Steelers 2
Super Bowl XI:   Viking had   3 turnovers to Raiders 0

Even with those turnovers the Vikings were in the game for three of the four games going into the 4th quarter:

down 16-7 to the Chiefs
down 9-6 to the Steelers
down 19-7 against the Raiders
