Last year's Super Bowl was exciting, but the Cardinals were the sixth seed, if I recall. It's not like they had some underdog story where they were the little guys who beat the legends. They were a team that stumbled into the playoffs out of the weakest division in the NFC and then got hot.
Obviously it's all a matter of personal opinion, but the reason last night's game was exciting is because it was the bona-fide two best teams in the NFC who finally got to play each other. A Vikings-Cardinals game last night would have been stupid.
