The 1984 Minnesota Vikings season was the franchise's 24th season in the National Football League. The Vikings finished with a record of 3 wins and 13 losses. This remains the Vikings’ worst record since the merger, later equaled with the 2011 team, and the team's second worst overall record by win percentage (only 1962 was worse). The Vikings’ 484 points allowed (30.25 average points per game) was the most by any NFL team between 1983 and 2000, and the most any Vikings team allowed in one season.
The team was coached by Les Steckel after Bud Grant retired; after the bad season, Steckel was fired and Bud Grant was re-hired.
