MINNETONKA, Minn. — The excitement over Sunday's Minnesota Vikings win is still going strong.

"It was just unreal," said Owner and Operator of Fan HQ Shaun Hagglund of the Vikings' 33-30 win over the Buffalo Bills.

"The amazing goal line fumble, to recover that, that caused a jump up off the couch," Hagglund said.

Even with Monday's snow, he was surrounded by fans eager to get their Vikings gear. Ryan Moravetz was wasting no time getting his kids outfitted in purple and gold.

"Of course, gotta get Justin Jefferson jerseys and gotta get little kid jerseys for my kids," Moravetz said. "I was brainwashed from a young age, so my kids will be brainwashed from a young age. They're only four and one but they're going to grow up loving purple."

After 13 years as the store's owner, Hagglund said this season stands out, with sales stacking up significantly.

"It's always better to have people stop in and talk about a victory than come in and complain about a defeat. Fortunately, this year we've had a lot more victories than defeats," said Hagglund.

Hagglund said the number one seller this season is anything number 18. And like so many, he's enjoying every win and approaching the season cautiously optimistic.

"Just hedging our bets a little bit. Don't want to get too up, just given our history. But it's been fun to watch and enjoy the ride while we're doing so well," Hagglund said.
