It’s always fun to watch the Minnesota Vikings get a victory over the Green Bay Packers, regardless of the circumstances or when it happens. However, yesterday’s victory at U.S. Bank Stadium brought our favorite team to a significant milestone in the history of the franchise.
When Greg Joseph put his 29-yard field goal attempt through the uprights with time expiring on Sunday afternoon, it gave the Vikings the 500th regular-season victory in the history of the franchise.
The Vikings’ all-time regular-season record now stands at 500 wins, 417 losses, and 11 ties.
Of all the teams the Vikings have played over the years, it makes sense that they have the most victories in their history over their divisional rivals from Detroit (79 wins), Chicago (61 wins), and Green Bay (55 wins), as well as their former division rivals from Tampa Bay (33 wins).
