2. Introduction
 Daniel Sheflin spent nearly 14 years with Honeywell in
Golden Valley, Minnesota, as vice president of technology
automation and control solutions prior to his retirement in
2015. Since stepping away from his research and
development efforts at the $16 billion Honeywell division,
Daniel Sheflin has stayed active through cycling and exercise.
He also enjoys following the Minnesota Vikings football
team.
In 1998, the Minnesota Vikings enjoyed one of the National
Football League’s most dominant regular seasons. The
Vikings, coached by Dennis Green, were led on the field by
First Team All Pro quarterback Randall Cunningham, Pro
Bowl running back Robert Smith, and rookie Randy Moss,
who also received Pro Bowl and All Pro honors.

3. Minnesota Vikings
 Minnesota went 7-0 over the course of the season’s first eight weeks,
including three wins in which opponents scored seven or fewer
points, compared to an average scoring output of more than 34
points. In Week 9, the Vikings fell 27-24 to the Buccaneers in Tampa
Bay. It would be Minnesota’s only defeat of the season, as the
Vikings finished the year on an eight game winning streak,
outscoring opponents by an average margin of 11 points.
Since the NFL transitioned to a 16 game schedule in 1978, only the
2007 New England Patriots have recorded a perfect regular season
record. The Vikings, who finished the 1998 season as the highest
scoring offense and sixth best defensive squad, rank among just six
teams to go 15-1. Minnesota continued its winning ways in the
postseason, defeating the Arizona Cardinals 41-21 before suffering a
narrow 30-27 defeat to the Atlanta Falcons in the conference finals.
