For the 13th time in their 59 seasons, the Vikings have reached 10 or more wins through 14 games. Bud Grant did it seven times in eight years during 14-game seasons from 1969 to 1976. Denny Green and Mike Zimmer are the only other coaches to do it more than once. The past four times the Vikings started 10-4 or better, they lost in the NFC Championship Game.
