2008 Minnesota Vikings Season

The 2008 season was the Minnesota Vikings' 48th season in the NFL, and the 17th season in which they won their division. They won the NFC North with a 10–6 record, but had to play in the wild card round of the playoffs. They were paired with head coach Brad Childress's former team, the Philadelphia Eagles, who ended the Vikings' season with a 26–14 win.

It was the third season for the team under the direction of Childress. The 2008 season also marked the first season since 2000 that the Vikings made the playoffs and finished with a winning record.

Second-year running back Adrian Peterson led the league in rushing with 1,760 yards.
