Minnesota is still looking for its first Super Bowl title, but this fall, they will get the NFL Films Super Bowl treatment. As part of the outstanding America's Game series, a pair of Vikings teams will be featured in Missing Rings. Just like with the Super Bowl winning teams, NFL Films will interview three or four players from the team, then tell the story of the season through NFL Films footage and broadcasts from the time.

If you haven't seen an America's Game on the NFL Network, each episode is just about best hour on football that you'll ever see.

NFL Films will feature the 1970 Vikings team that lost to the Chiefs in Super Bowl IV. That team is the one that started an impressive run of four Super Bowl appearances in seven seasons. But the other Vikings show may be even better--it will explain the story of the 1998 Vikings, a 15-1 team that has to rank among the best teams to not even make it to the Super Bowl, and one of the best offenses of all time. Both should be great stories, and are good ways to feature a pair of teams that were great, just not great enough.

The episodes will air in September and October.
