While it's true the Vikings won the 1969 NFL Championship they lost to the Chiefs in Super Bowl IV. Since there was separate leagues until 1970, it's simply a matter of how one looks at it. I doubt most people, outside of Minnesota, consider the Vikings the champions in 1969. Saying that is the equivalent of saying the Colts won a title last year since they won the AFC championship, even though lost to the Saints in the Super Bowl. No matter how you look at it, I bet Viking fans would be glad to resolve the issue once and for all with a Super Bowl title. Thanks for stopping by J.

To say they've won no league titles is a misstatement. Uh…The Vikings won the NFL Championship in 1969. To say they’ve won no league titles is a misstatement.
