Vikings Fans Deal With Post-Packers Depression
It was a perfect ending to an imperfect season for Vikings fans as they watched the archrival Green Bay Packers claim the Lombardi Trophy. Chris Long talked to an expert about how Vikings fans can cope through the offseason.
Dr. Justin Anderson is a sports psychologist in St. Paul who says Vikings fans could certainly be facing "situational depression" in the wake of the disappointing season.
"As Minnesota fans take the Vikings seriously, it's an up and down event," Anderson says, "The thing that hurt the most was the expectation."
Anderson says it's only natural for fans who already felt bad about the Vikings season to feel even worse after the Packers win in the Super Bowl.
