The 1962 Minnesota Vikings season was the second year of season play for the Minnesota Vikings and the 43rd regular season of the National Football League. The Vikings finished with a record of two wins, 11 losses, and one tie under head coach Norm Van Brocklin. The 2-11-1 record still stands as the Vikings' worst season record by terms of winning percentage, both by today's standards (.179) and back then (.154), where ties weren't counted as games played. The Vikings have won at least three games in every season since.
Second-year halfback Tommy Mason was the only Viking voted to the East-West Pro Bowl game, played January 13, 1963, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and won by the East 30-20.
Note: Tie games were not officially counted in the standings until 1972.
