Well, of course...

This is the Vikings’ sixth 5-0 start since 1990, the most by any NFL franchise in that 35-year span, according to Pro Football Reference. 

However, only six teams started 5-0 and missed the playoffs, and the Vikings are the only team to do that twice: 2003, 2016. The Vikings lost in the NFC title game the other three years: 1998, 2000 and 2009.


And in better news...

O’Connell has coached 40 games (regular and postseason) for the Vikings so far, and he’s off to the best start as far as winning percentage with a 25-15 record of any head coach in franchise history, surpassing Dennis Green’s 24-16 from 1992 through the start of the 1994 season.

You can't look backwards with this team. I understand why Vikings fans would be nervous about the second half of the last two games. But the Vikings managed to win. That isn't what used to happen. This may be the most complete team the Vikings have had since the Bud Grant years. They will have their challenges as the season progresses, but this is not a typical Vikings team with a few stars and no depth. They have productive players through out the roster. They are competitive now and will remain so. Just think how promising their future is with JJM waiting in the wings.
Vikings are relevant again. I love it.

We have a better defense than 2003 and better offense than 2016. Now a little fairy dust for Jones' hip and Hock's knee and we're good to go.
