Team Identities and Matchup History

The Lions and Vikings rivalry took root in 1961 when Minnesota joined the NFL and entered what became the NFC Central, later the NFC North. Detroit traced its lineage to the Portsmouth Spartans (founded in 1929) before relocating in 1934, while Minnesota began play in 1961. The Lions claimed four NFL Championships between 1935 and 1957; the Vikings appeared in four Super Bowls (IV, VIII, IX, XI) and won the 1969 pre-merger NFL Championship.

Rivalry History:

The series produced memorable regular-season encounters. On Thanksgiving 1995 in Detroit, the Lions defeated the Vikings 44–38 in the highest-scoring game in the rivalry, with Scott Mitchell throwing for a then-franchise-record 410 yards. In 1997 in Minnesota, Herman Moore caught a 1-yard touchdown with three seconds left to seal a 14–13 win and a season sweep. In 2011 in Minneapolis, Detroit erased a 20–0 halftime deficit to win 26–23 in overtime, ending a 13-game road losing streak.

On December 24, 2023, the Lions clinched the NFC North with a 30–24 win in Minnesota, their first division title since 1993. In 2024, Detroit won 31–29 in Week 7 in Minneapolis on a late Jake Bates field goal, then secured a 31–9 victory later in Detroit to claim another division crown and the NFC's top seed.
