The Vikings will try to get first win in Miami since 1976

When the Minnesota Vikings head down to Miami to take on the Dolphins, they will be trying to do something they haven’t done since the Bud Grant era: win a football game in Miami.

The Vikings have played the Dolphins 13 times in their history including Super Bowl VIII where the Vikings lost to Don Shula’s Dolphins 24-7.

The next game that the two franchises played against each other was the Vikings’ only win in their five trips to Miami, a 29-7 victory. Their last trip to Miami was an utter disaster with punter Jeff Locke having a punt blocked for a safety at the end of the game to give the Dolphins a 37-35 victory.

Overall, the Vikings sit at 5-8 against the Dolphins all time but they won their last game which was a 41-17 victory in 2018 that saw Kevin Stefanski take over play-calling duties from John DeFillipo. Dalvin Cook had a tremendous day for the Vikings running for 136 yards and two touchdowns with a 7.16 yards per carry average. He will have a lot of fans in the stands as he returns to play in his hometown for the first time as a professional.
