Vikings face postseason struggles despite regular season success
Summary

The Minnesota Vikings continue to experience postseason failures, having lost in the Wild Card round in both of their playoff appearances over the past four seasons. Despite posting a winning record in three of those years, they have not advanced past the Conference Championship since 2017. The team’s recent roster changes, including the signing of Kyler Murray, raise questions about their future prospects. As they head into a pivotal 2026 season, another disappointment could lead to significant changes, including potential departures of key figures like Kevin O'Connell and Justin Jefferson.
