A bit of history for the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday

With most of us focused on this season and the playoff chase for the Minnesota Vikings, we almost missed that tomorrow’s game is a special one in the history of the franchise.

When the Vikings take to the field at U.S. Bank Stadium tomorrow to battle the Indianapolis Colts, it will mark the 1,000th game in franchise history (regular season and postseason).

As we know, the Vikings first took the field at Metropolitan Stadium on 17 September 1961 to face a team that would become their division rivals, the Chicago Bears.
