For a team as storied as the Minnesota Vikings, not being over .500 for a span of two full seasons is somewhat remarkable.
The last two seasons saw the Vikings finish 7-9 in and 8-9, and they were never above the .500 threshold for even one game. They lost their opener each of the last two seasons, which put them in a hole that they couldn’t escape from. In fact, the last day they were over .500 was the final day of the 2019 regular season, when the Vikings finished with a 10-6 record.
Sunday’s 23-7 win against the Green Bay Packers changed that as the Vikings eclipsed the .500 mark for the first time in 987 days.
The Minnesota Vikings are above .500 for the first time in 987 days.

The Vikings’ new brass has been preaching a new culture, and this is a fantastic way to begin the Kevin O’Connell and Kwesi Adofo-Mensah era.
