{{Infobox NFL season | team = Minnesota Vikings | year = 1962 | record = 2–11–1 | division_place = 6th NFL Western | coach = Norm Van Brocklin | general manager = Bert Rose | stadium = Metropolitan Stadium | playoffs = did not qualify | shortnavlink = Vikings seasons }}The 1962 season was the Minnesota Vikings' second in the National Football League. Under head coach Norm Van Brocklin, the team finished with a 2–11–1 record that still stands as the franchise's worst season record in terms of winning percentage, both by today's standards (.179) and at the time (.154), when ties weren't counted as games played. The Vikings have won at least three games in every season since. Offseason1962 Draft{{main|1962 NFL draft}} |
