There are some teams the Minnesota Vikings have struggled to defeat over the course of franchise history and here are the top 5 squads which do so.

When the schedules are released for NFL teams, one of the first things fans of the Minnesota Vikings do is look to see which teams play during certain weeks and try to guess what the team’s win/loss record will be.

However, much of the time, it can be a challenge to accurately guess which teams will be a win for the Vikings and which ones will defeat them. It can be surprising which teams have regularly beat the team since their inaugural season in 1961.

Five teams actually beat Minnesota more than 64% percent of the time, which is kind of scary. In fact, one unexpected team has been making a habit of beating the Vikings, winning 72.7 percent of the time.

Let’s take a look at the five franchises which have made a habit of beating the Minnesota Vikings over the course of franchise history starting with the team who beats the purple and gold at the fifth highest rate heading into the 2019 NFL season.
