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.
