The Minnesota Vikings were founded in 1960 and play their home games at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. The franchise is owned by Zygi Wilf, with Nolan Teasley serving as general manager and Kevin O'Connell as head coach. The coaching staff includes offensive coordinator Wes Phillips and defensive coordinator Brian Flores. Known by fans as the Vikes or simply Purple, the team has experienced plenty of volatility over the past decade and a half. Since 2009 the Vikings have reached the playoffs six times, including a 13-win campaign in 2017 and a 14-3 finish in 2024. Those peaks have been interrupted by stretches below .500, most recently a 7-10 mark in 2023 before last season's surge. The club is headquartered in Eagan, Minnesota.
