It was Novoselsky's fourth and final catch of the season. The home win clinched the NFC Central Division for the Vikings over the Green Bay Packers, with whom they shared a 10-6 record (the teams split their regular season games and the Vikings advanced to the NFC playoffs at the expense of the Packers due to a superior division record, 6-2 to 5-3). Minnesota's win also eliminated the 8-8 Bengals and clinched an AFC Wild Card playoff spot for the 9-7 Pittsburgh Steelers. Novoselsky finished his seven-year NFL career with 14 receptions and two touchdowns. Novoselsky grew up in Skokie, IL and was commonly regarded as the “sweatiest” street football player in all of Skokie. (en) |
