During the past four seasons, the Minnesota Vikings have been one of three teams to finish atop the NFC North. The Vikings, Green Bay Packers, and Chicago Bears have all had at least one first-place finish in the division since 2015.
However, Minnesota is the only team in the NFC North to win the division more than once in the last four years. The Vikings finished first in the NFC North in both 2015 and 2017.
Despite missing the playoffs last season, Minnesota still ended up with the second-best record in the NFC North behind the Bears.
