What are some of the biggest upset wins by Minnesota Vikings in the last twenty years?
Including the playoffs, the Minnesota Vikings have played 333 games in the last twenty years. In the totality of these contests, the Vikings win-loss is 170-161-2 (.514). This win percentage is good for twelfth best in the NFL in the last two decades.
In forty-eight percent of those 333 match-ups, the Vikings have been the underdog. This has not been a prevalent occurrence in the last five years, but the team’s performance has not always gone as swimmingly as it has since 2015. As a point spread underdog, the Vikings have won thirty-five percent of the time since 2000. This is about middle-of-the-pack in terms of league ranking.
It should be noted that the proceeding five upsets are the largest according to point spread–not emotional impact. There are assuredly wins that can be perceived as more influential to the fan base, but the following five games are evaluated faithfully by the numbers.
Here are the five biggest Vikings upsets of the last two decades, ranked in ascending order.
