History of the Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings: A History of Heartache and Hope 

The Minnesota Vikings are one of the most popular and successful franchises in the NFL. They have made the playoffs 29 times, including four Super Bowl appearances. However, the Vikings have never won a Super Bowl, which has led to a reputation as a “cursed” team. 

In this article, we will take a look at the history of the Minnesota Vikings. We will discuss the team’s early years, the Bud Grant era, the Purple People Eaters era, the Randy Moss era, the present day, and the future of the Vikings. 

The Early Years of the Vikings 

The Minnesota Vikings were founded in 1960 as an expansion team. The team’s first home was Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, Minnesota. The Vikings’ first head coach was Norm Van Brocklin. 

The Vikings’ early years were a bit rocky. They had some winning seasons, but they also had their share of losing seasons. They did not make the playoffs until their fifth season, in 1965. 

In 1966, the Vikings drafted quarterback Fran Tarkenton, who would go on to become one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. Tarkenton led the Vikings to their first playoff appearance in 1967. 

The Bud Grant Era 

The Vikings’ fortunes changed in 1967, when they hired Bud Grant as head coach. Grant was a brilliant coach, and he quickly turned the Vikings into a championship contender. The Vikings made the playoffs in each of Grant’s first seven seasons, and they won the NFL championship in 1969. 

The Vikings’ 1960s dynasty was one of the most dominant eras in NFL history. The Vikings won four NFL championships in six seasons, and they went to the Super Bowl four times. 

The Vikings’ offense was led by quarterback Fran Tarkenton, running back Chuck Foreman, and wide receiver Gene Washington. The defense was led by defensive end Carl Eller and defensive tackle Alan Page. 

The Vikings’ 1969 Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs was one of the most exciting games in NFL history. The Vikings trailed by 10 points with less than two minutes to play, but they came back to win 23-7. 

The Purple People Eaters Era 

The Vikings’ defense in the 1970s was one of the most feared in NFL history. The defense was nicknamed the “Purple People Eaters” because of its size and its ability to dominate opposing offenses. 

The Purple People Eaters were led by defensive end Carl Eller, defensive tackle Alan Page, and defensive end Jim Marshall. The defense also featured defensive backs Paul Krause and Bobby Bryant. 

The Purple People Eaters helped the Vikings reach the Super Bowl four times in the 1970s, but they lost each time. 

The Randy Moss Era 

The Vikings’ offense in the 1990s was led by Randy Moss, one of the most prolific receivers in NFL history. Moss was a dynamic playmaker who could change the game with a single catch. 

Moss led the NFL in receiving yards in 1998 with 1,693 yards. He also led the NFL in receiving touchdowns that year with 23. 

The Vikings made the playoffs four times in the 1990s, but they never made it past the NFC Championship Game. 

The Present Day 

The Vikings have been a competitive team in recent years, but they have not been able to reach the Super Bowl. The team is led by quarterback Kirk Cousins, who is one of the most accurate passers in the NFL. 

The Vikings have a young and talented roster, and they are hoping to break through and win a Super Bowl in the near future. 

The Future of the Vikings 

The Vikings are a team with a rich history and a bright future. The team has a passionate fan base, and they play their home games at U.S. Bank Stadium, one of the most modern stadiums in the NFL. 

The Vikings are sure to be a contender for many years
