Legendary quarterback Brett Favre concluded his historic career with the franchise, while star running back Adrian Peterson earned Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors after rushing for 1,298 yards and 12 touchdowns. The season also featured the exciting mid-season return of wide receiver Randy Moss and a notable late-season victory over the playoff-bound Philadelphia Eagles under interim head coach Leslie Frazier. The Minnesota Vikings remained a competitive force in the NFC North during the 2010s, highlighted by playoff appearances and standout individual performances. The decade was defined by running back Adrian Peterson's historic 2012 MVP season and the team’s 2017 "Minneapolis Miracle" run to the NFC Championship Game. Additionally, the franchise successfully opened the state-of-the-art U.S. Bank Stadium and developed perennial All-Pro talents like safety Harrison Smith and defensive end Danielle Hunter.
