The Minnesota Vikings have had a lot of talented players throughout their 60-plus-year history.
They have the most wins for a franchise that has never won the Super Bowl and made four appearances in the biggest game of the year, tied for the most among teams that have never won a world title.
Minnesota has set the benchmark for some of the craziest statistics in league history, making those individual and team accomplishments very difficult to eclipse.
However, this is the NFL and anything can happen on any given Sunday.
There are some Vikings records that will likely never fall.
Here are six of the franchise records for Minnesota that will likely never be broken.
No player in NFL history has ever had a nose for the football the way that Paul Krause did.
The Hall of Fame safety holds the league record for most interceptions in a career at 81, with 53 of those coming as a member of the Minnesota Vikings.
The closest active player is Harrison Smith with 34 takeaways in 12 seasons.
It would take one heck of a career to break this record.
Tying the record for the longest reception in Vikings’ history is the best anyone can do.
Bernard Berrian set the record with the longest possible catch and run on a pass from Gus Frerotte during a Sunday Night Football broadcast in 2008.
This happened against Berrian’s former team, the Chicago Bears, making the play even more fun.
Before Brett Favre became the NFL’s “iron man”, the Vikings had Jim Marshall as a regular on their defensive line.
The former Purple People Eaters defender suited up for 282 consecutive games with Minnesota.
Beating this record would take a lot of skill, training, and luck, making it extremely unlikely to be toppled.
