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:
“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
