How many times have the Vikings been champions of the league? Does anyone know?

If by league you mean the entire NFL, then never. But they earned quite a lot of divisional titles. Here is the best thing I could find. Stats since 1970 when the NFL and AFL merged.

I don't know for sure how the divisions were set up through those 40 years. If I add up all titles of the current NFC North teams I get 37. If I throw in the Panthers who were part of the NFC Central before the divisions were revised to the current setup, then I get 40, but that would require that the Panthers never won the NFC South which I don't think is true. Or maybe I am mixing something up and it was the Buccaneers who used to play in the NFC Central. They won six divisional titles, so that would actually make more sense. 1970-2010 equals 41 seasons, so yeah.

Division titles mean nothing.  You don't see me celebrating the Bears division title.  Why?  The Packers won the Super Bowl.

I knew how many titles the Vikings have won.  I just like reminding their fans of this.  :p
