Minnesota sports fans got to experience quite the Sunday.

The Minnesota Wild won. The Minnesota Timberwolves won. And the Minnesota Vikings capped it off with a win on Sunday Night Football.

The last time all three teams won on the same day? That would be Dec. 20, 2003, with the stat shared by Jon Krawczynski on X.

That day nearly 22 years ago, Randy Moss caught seven passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns from Daunte Culpepper.

For the Timberwolves that day, Kevin Garnett went for 28 points and blocked seven shots.

The Wild won that day thanks to two goals from Wes Walz.

This time around, the Wild beat the Bruins 6-2 thanks to two goals from Kirill Kaprizov and a goal from Quinn Hughes in his Minnesota debut.

The Timberwolves beat the Kings as both Julius Randle and Naz Reid put up points-rebounds double-doubles.

And the Vikings beat the Cowboys on Sunday night, officially eliminating Dallas from postseason contention.

That's a pretty great trifecta, really.

The Wild have high hopes this season, particularly after pulling off the blockbuster deal for Hughes.

The Timberwolves, led by Anthony Edwards, want to be one of the NBA's best teams.

The Vikings have been more of a disappointment, with J.J. McCarthy struggling more often than not, but they put it together on Sunday.

Maybe this could be the start of a great stretch of sports in Minnesota.
