Minnesota Vikings News
Minnesota Vikings Bio
The Minnesota Vikings are one of the most popular teams in the NFL. Despite only having won one NFL title, in 1969, the year before the NFL and American Football League merged, the Vikings have a long and illustrious history. The Vikings' greatest run of success began with Bud Grant's appointment as head coach in 1967. Grant, who would later be inducted into the Hall of Fame, led the Vikings to all four of their Super Bowl appearances. The Vikings have one of the best winning percentages in the NFL since their debut in 1961. They are one of just seven NFL teams to have at least 15 wins in a regular season as of 2022, and they have at least three victories in every season save for 1962. The team has qualified for the playoffs 28 times since the merger, third-most in the league (trailing only the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers).
The club participated in Super Bowls IV, VIII, IX, and XI, although none of those games saw a victory. Additionally, dating back to 1978, they have lost each of their past six trips in the NFC Championship Game. The Pro Football Hall of Fame currently has 15 players from the Vikings. The Minnesota Vikings compete in the NFC North division of the league. The estimated value of the Minnesota VIkings is currently $3.92 billion.

Minnesota Vikings Roster 2023-24
The Vikings have a strong roster heading into the upcoming NFL season with wide receiver Justin Jefferson arguably the most important player for the squad.

Running back Dalvin Cook, defensive back Za'Darius Smith and defensive end Danielle Hunter are also very strong players in the squad who made it possible for the Vikings to have a great season in the NFC last year. 2023 NFL Draft pick Jordan Addison (wide receiver) and Mekhi Blackmon (cornerback) will be looking to make an impact in the squad and definitely make it into the rotation for the already flourishing Vikings' squad.
