With their victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday afternoon at U.S. Bank Stadium, the Minnesota Vikings reached a very significant milestone in the history of the franchise.
The 34-14 victory in Week 3 was the 500th victory in the history of the Minnesota Vikings, counting the playoffs and the regular season. Since coming into the league in 1961, with 938 total games played, the Vikings now have an all-time franchise record of 500-427-11.
Of those 500 victories, 480 of them have come in the regular season against 398 losses (and all 11 ties, obviously), while the post-season record for the Vikings currently sits at 20-29.
