The only thing common to then and now is THE NFL

In the 1973 ( Different Century, Owner, Coaches and Players.) The Falcons 62 - 7 crushing of the Saints the QB was Dick Shiner. Note the last sentence.

On September 16, 1973, while playing for the Falcons in a game against the New Orleans Saints, Shiner became the first person to post a perfect passer rating, during what was the first season in which the statistic was officially kept. However, multiple other quarterbacks are recognized retroactively to have accomplished this feat prior to the 1973 season.[citation needed] Shiner completed 13 of 15 pass attempts for 227 yards and 3 touchdowns, with no interceptions. The next week in being shut out against the Rams, Shiner would go on to post a lowest possible 0.0 QB rating (unofficially, as he only attempted nine passes).

Add Kirk Cousins to this list. He returned to being the mediocre QB we all know him as a week after beating us in the playoffs.

Insanity is doing something repeatedly and expecting different results....

I don't know why it surprises us anymore. I was dreading that Vikings team for many reasons, this being a key one.
