5 teams the Vikings have the best record against in NFL history
By Adam Carlson
Team No. 3: Cleveland Browns
Record vs. Browns: 11-5 (68.8%)
The Cleveland Browns have been around a lot longer than the Houston Texans or Jacksonville Jaguars, which is why they have faced off against the Minnesota Vikings more than twice as often as the other two teams combined.
For a team whose home field was once dubbed as "The Factory of Sadness," the Cleveland Browns have more than earned their reputation as a struggling franchise yet have been able to best the purple and gold on five occasions.
The most recent of those five losses came on Oct. 3, 2021 at U.S. Bank Stadium in a 7-14 loss. Minnesota's only touchdown came on a 12-yard pass from Kirk Cousins to Justin Jefferson but it wasn't enough to get the job done.
Minnesota's AFC North opponent this year is the Cincinnati Bengals, not the Cleveland Browns. Because of this, the 11-5 record will make it through to at least another year but it is unknown as to whether or not the Browns will be competitive in the future.
