Minnesota Vikings Football with updated schedule

The Eagles would go on to defeat the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants in the Divisional round only to lose to the Arizona Cardinals (who in turn lost Super Bowl XLIII to the Pittsburgh Steelers) in the NFC Championship Game. The Vikings have won one NFL championship (Pre-1970 AFL-NFL Merger), but subsequently lost 23-7 to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl IV. The Vikings have won their division 17 times, third most among teams currently playing in the NFL. The Vikings compete in the North Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL).

The club was founded in 1961 after the ownership group withdrew membership to the American Football League and agreed to join the NFL as an expansion team. Since 2006, the Vikings are particularly known for their strong defense against the run (#1 in the NFL in 2006, 2007, and 2008, first NFL team to accomplish this) anchored by the nicknamed "Williams Wall"/"Williams Wrecking Crew" consisting of defensive tackle Kevin Williams and nose tackle Pat Williams (no relation). On January 4, 2009, the Vikings (minnesota vikings) hosted the Philadelphia Eagles for the Wild Card round and for the first time in eight years, the Vikings hosted a playoff game. The Vikings held the Eagles 14–16 at halftime, but the Eagles, coming off of a 44–6 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, defeated the Vikings, 26–14. Starting with the addition of Jared Allen in 2008 the front four began being called the Four Norsemen of the Apocalypse. The Vikings were the first team to both play in and lose four Super Bowls. {summarized}
