Series overview
A short series, lopsided in Minnesota's favor
The Minnesota Vikings and Jacksonville Jaguars play in different conferences, so their schedules only cross when the NFC North and AFC South are paired for a season, plus the occasional shared-opponent scheduling quirk. That has kept the series short: eight regular-season meetings since the Jaguars joined the league as an expansion franchise in 1995, with the first game coming in 1998.
The series has been almost entirely one-sided. Minnesota has won seven of the eight meetings, including four at home and three on the road, with Jacksonville's only win coming at the Metrodome in 2001. The Vikings have won every meeting since that 2001 loss, a streak of six straight dating back to 2004. There is no shared division and no playoff history between the two teams, and no game is currently scheduled between them for the 2026 season.
Jacksonville is not on Minnesota's confirmed 2026 regular-season schedule. This page is a historical and statistical reference, not a preview of an upcoming game.

This was an unusual win: Minnesota scored no offensive touchdowns and Darnold threw three interceptions, yet the Vikings still controlled the game, holding the ball for 42 minutes and 19 seconds, running 82 offensive plays to Jacksonville's 43, and winning total yardage 402-143.

Notable games
Three meetings worth remembering
December 20, 1998 — Vikings 50, Jaguars 10, Metrodome. The largest margin of victory in the series came during Minnesota's record-setting 15-1 season. Randall Cunningham threw three touchdown passes while playing through a fractured hand, including a 43-yard flea-flicker touchdown to rookie Randy Moss.
December 6, 2020 — Vikings 27, Jaguars 24 (OT), U.S. Bank Stadium. Rookie Justin Jefferson caught nine passes for 121 yards and a touchdown to cross 1,000 receiving yards for the season. Jacksonville forced overtime on a late touchdown and two-point conversion before Dan Bailey's field goal won it for Minnesota.
November 10, 2024 — Vikings 12, Jaguars 7, EverBank Stadium. The most recent meeting, detailed above, is notable for how it was won: no Vikings offensive touchdown, three Sam Darnold interceptions, and a 4-for-4 field-goal debut from kicker John Parker Romo.
Franchise comparison
Vikings vs Jaguars: team comparison
Minnesota opened the 2026 season with a 39-22 home win over Green Bay on September 13, but one game is not a meaningful season sample, so this is a franchise-level comparison rather than a current-season stat comparison. Current-season team comparisons will be more useful as the season progresses; for now, see the standings and the Week 1 recap and box score.

Jacksonville is one of four current NFL franchises that has never reached a Super Bowl, along with the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions and Houston Texans.

Mall of America Field was the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome under a temporary naming-rights name used from 2011-2013; both refer to the same building. EverBank Field (2010-2021) and Jacksonville Municipal Stadium (1995-2009) are earlier names for the Jaguars' current home, EverBank Stadium. Every meeting listed above was a regular-season game; the teams have never met in the playoffs.
