National Football Conference · NFC North
The Minnesota Vikings were founded in 1960 in Minneapolis and have built a franchise known for its passionate following and stretches of regular-season excellence. Headquartered in Eagan, Minnesota, the team plays home games at US Bank Stadium and is owned by Zygi Wilf, with Nolan Teasley serving as general manager and Kevin O'Connell as head coach. The Vikings have produced several strong campaigns in recent years, including a 13–3 playoff season in 2017, a 13–4 playoff run in 2022, and a 14–3 mark in 2024 that stands among their best records in the data. The roster features notable names such as receiver Justin Jefferson, tight end T.J. Hockenson, safety Harrison Smith, and quarterback J.J. McCarthy, alongside veterans like Aaron Jones and Andrew Van Ginkel. Often called the Purple People Eaters or simply the Purple and Gold, Minnesota remains a fixture in the NFC conversation.
