The Minnesota Vikings are a professional American football team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The Vikings have won one NFL championship (Pre-1970 AFL-NFL Merger) losing 23-7 to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl IV and were the first team to both play in and lose four Super Bowls.

The team played home games at Metropolitan Stadium through the 1981 NFL season and have played their home games at Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome (the home of the American League baseball team Minnesota Twins) since 1982.

In 6 seasons as Head Coach of the Vikings, Burns compiled a career record of 52--43 (.547).

In his 10 seasons as the coach of the Vikings, Green won 4 NFC Central division titles, had 8 playoff appearances, 2 NFC Championship game appearances and an all-time record of 97--62.

In the playoffs, the Vikings rolled past the Arizona Cardinals 41--21, and came into the Metrodome heavily favored for their NFC title showdown with the Atlanta Falcons.

However, kicker Gary Anderson, who had just completed the first perfect regular season in NFL history (not missing a single extra point or field goal attempt the entire year), missed a 38 yard attempt with less than 2 minutes remaining.

Though they were the road team, the Vikings were actually favored to win the game (since most considered their 12--2 record with Dante Culpepper more indicative than their 0--3 record when he was out).

2005 On March 2, 2005, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Randy Moss was traded to the Oakland Raiders for linebacker Napoleon Harris and the Raiders' first round draft pick.
