A trend is a trend.

In the thirty seasons the Baltimore Ravens have been an NFL franchise, they have squared off against my Minnesota Vikings 8 times, including this past Sunday. With Sunday's loss, the Vikes are now 3-5 all time vs. the Ravens. 


In the three seasons the Vikings have prevailed against Baltimore (1998, 2009 and 2017), they advanced to the NFC Championship Game that year. 


In the four years (prior to 2025) the Vikes have lost to the Ravens (2001, 2005, 2013, 2021), they fired their head coach either during or upon the conclusion of each of those seasons. 


I guess this is my way of saying.......Godspeed, Kevin O'Connell.* 


Hey, I don't make the rules. 


*OK, the Vikings aren't firing O'Connell. At least not before the 2026 season. But it's clear his honeymoon with many Vikings fans is over.
