Police Tweet Joke About Missing Vikings Defense
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) -- Sioux Falls police took a good-natured jab at the Minnesota Vikings as the team lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC championship game, and lost out on a trip to the Super Bowl.
As the Eagles went up 31-7 against the vaunted Vikings defense, Sioux Falls police tweeted: "We just have been contacted by the @MinneapolisPD and are assisting in the locating of the Minnesota Vikings defense."
The Argus Leader reports the tweet on the department's official Twitter account went on to say: "If located we will let you know. We must hurry as we have been given a 30 minute time limit to assist."
The police assistance didn't help -- the Eagles went on to win 38-7.
