5 quarterbacks who have always struggled against the Vikings
By Dustin Baker
What quarterbacks historically have been stifled by the Minnesota Vikings?
In the Super Bowl era, the Minnesota Vikings have the sixth-best overall win percentage (including playoffs) in the NFL (.553). They trail only the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens, and Denver Broncos in all-time win percentage.
En route to these 553 total victories, the Vikings have tormented an assortment of quarterbacks. Since 1966, Minnesota has notched the most safeties in the NFL, sixth-most sacks, sixth-most interceptions, and held opponents to the 10th-fewest touchdowns.
Sprinkled in along the way have been a few notable rough patches of defensive futility for the Vikings. But overall, Minnesota has earned a reputation as a defense-first franchise.
This havoc has found its way to prominent quarterbacks–and some more often than others. Let’s take a look at five good quarterbacks who uncharacteristically struggled against the Vikings.
