Green Bay Packers free safety Darnell Savage (26) reacted after he intercepted a pass meant for Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (18) but it was called back after video review.

When it comes to officiating grievances, a lot of Minnesota sports fans have a photographic, albeit one-sided, memory.

They can tell you what they were wearing during Drew Pearson's catch. They remember what they had for dinner the night Phil Cuzzi said Joe Mauer's fair ball was foul.

The default when a loss can't be blamed on the coach or the highest-paid player - the latter of which almost happened Sunday - is to blame the refs.
