The 2006 Minnesota Vikings season was the team's 46th regular season in the National Football League.
The Vikings attempted to improve on their 9–7 record in 2005 which was the last under embattled head coach Mike Tice. It ended with the team posting a 6–10 record and Brad Childress (apparently) convincing new owner Zygi Wilf that it was a rebuilding year.
The Vikings surrendered only 985 rushing yards in 2006, making Minnesota one of only two franchises in NFL history to allow fewer than 1,000 rushing yards in a 16-game season. (The other was the Super Bowl champion 2000 Baltimore Ravens.)

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“To the American People:MChristmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind. To cherish peace and good will, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. If we think on these things, there will be born in us a Savior and over us will shine a star sending its gleam of hope to the world.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
