Frequently Asked Questions
5 questions
The Vikings made all 4 Super Bowl appearances in the 1970s (1969, 1973, 1974, 1976) during an era of dominant NFC teams but faced elite AFC opponents including the Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers. They lost all 4 games, with the 1969 and 1973 losses being particularly notable upsets. Since then, the franchise has struggled to return to that level of consistency, making only one playoff appearance in the last 18 years.
