Background - Minnesota Vikings
Since the late 1960s, the Vikings have been one of the most consistently successful franchises in the NFL. During the 1970s head coach Bud Grant steered the team to four Super Bowls. Quarterback Fran Tarkenton, who spent much of his career with the Vikings, became the most prolific passer in NFL history, compiling the most career yards, completions, and touchdown passes during his 15 years in the league. Grant also assembled one of the fiercest defenses in NFL history. Known collectively as the Purple People Eaters, players such as linemen Carl Eller, Jim Marshall, and Alan Page "devoured" opposing offenses.
In the 1968 season Bud Grant guided the Vikings to the NFC Central Division championship. A year later, Minnesota's defense, the league's toughest, powered the Vikings to Super Bowl IV, where the team lost to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Vikings' offensive performance in 1969 was also the league's best. Quarterback Joe Kapp directed a balanced unit that relied on both running and passing.
In the 1970s safety Paul Krause and linemen Page, Carl Eller, and Jim Marshall anchored the era's most feared defensive unit, which ranked first in the NFC five times from 1969 to 1976. Minnesota dominated the NFC Central Division during this time, and in 1971 Page became the first defensive player to receive the most valuable player (MVP) award. Tarkenton returned to the Vikings in 1972 and subsequently piloted the team to three Super Bowl appearances. Running back Chuck Foreman and wide receivers John Gilliam and Ahmad Rashad were his favorite targets. An elusive scrambler, Tarkenton also used his agility to confound opponents. He was named league MVP in 1975.

2007 Season Preview
|
Although they were clearly the NFC's dominant club, the Vikings repeatedly fell to their American Football Conference (AFC) opponents in the Super Bowl. Minnesota lost to the Miami Dolphins 24-7 in 1974, to the Pittsburgh Steelers 16-6 in 1975, and to the Oakland Raiders 32-14 in 1977.
Many of the star Viking players retired by 1979, and the team entered a period of decline, but Minnesota soon recovered its success with a collection of new stars. From the mid-1980s through the late 1990s, the Vikings consistently recorded winning records, and the club reached the NFC Championship Game after the 1987 and 1998 seasons. The stars for the Vikings, during this time, included quarterbacks Tommy Kramer, Warren Moon, and Wade Wilson, and wide receiver Anthony Carter, who produced three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. Safety Joey Browner and linemen Chris Doleman, Keith Millard, and John Randle were among the league's premier defensive players.
1970 Super Bowl IV Lost to Kansas City Chiefs, 23-7
1974 Super Bowl VIII Lost to Miami Dolphins, 24-7
1975 Super Bowl IX Lost to Pittsburgh Steelers, 16-6
1977 Super Bowl XI Lost to Oakland Raiders, 32-14
2006 Regular Season Record – 6-10
2006 Outcome – Missed playoffs
The Minnesota Vikings were a favorite coming into the 2006 season to win the NFC North division with their tough defense, ended up finishing third in their division, and missing the playoffs. The Minnesota Vikings had problems putting points on the board, and ended up with the second worst offense in the NFC. In the upcoming 2007 NFL draft, the Vikings must look for some help at the quarterback position, and also some more offensive weapons to score. Can the Minnesota Vikings rebound back from a difficult season and win the NFC North? Only one way to find out! Come out to the Metrodome and cheer on your favorite team, the Minnesota Vikings!
