Minnesota Vikings Playoff History

After their no-show on Saturday, looking at the playoff history of the Minnesota Vikings probably isn't the best form of therapy. The best thing that can be said about the playoff history of the Vikings is that they have an extensive one. It just isn't a successful one. In the roughly fifty years since they graduated from bumbling expansion team the Vikings have made the playoffs 30 times. Seeing as they've never ended a playoff run with a win they've lost 30 playoff games. The 30 playoff losses is an NFL record.

Here's a quick summary of the Minnesota Vikings playoff history:

All-time Playoffs: 51 games, 21-30
Wild Card Round: 14 games, 7-7
Divisional Round: 23 games, 10-13
