NFL.com Names Top Five Vikings' Plays In Metrodome History

As an avid fantasy player, the 1997 Brad Johnson TD pass to himself is a contender also.

Honestly albeit unfortunately, that was the first time that I ever saw that entire drive vs San Fran. It makes it that much more amazing when you consider that #4 was a 40 year old QB, at the end of a tight game, having thrown 8 or 9 straight passes, knowing his arm was tired as hell when he made that throw. WOW. I am speechless. I will come back later to add ideas for plays that could also be on the list. But for now wow.

That’s just me. I know the 99-yd TD is pretty impressive. Can’t get much better than that, but there’s others that have gone 99 yds before, but no one has ever done what Adrian did against the Chargers. Watching LT on the sidelines moping about his 40 Yds or whatever it was is priceless.

How it didn’t snag all 5 top spots on this top 5 list is beyond me.

try and shoehorn Moss’ first TD in there against Tampa Bay in ‘98…that juggling bomb he caught that made everyone go ’hmmm, maybe this cat can play some football’.

But man, some great highlights in there.

has there been a better walkoff regular season drive? Ever?

It’s obviously a recap from a channel here in the UK—I recognize it because they still use fake crowd noise during their highlights now.

Five great plays, though.

That 49ers game was the first Vikings game I ever went to. My friends and I had seats 5 rows up from the corner of the endzone where that play happened. The funny thing was every touchdown during that game happened in the opposite endzone than where we were sitting. We were bummin pretty hard until that place erupted…I will never forget screaming as loud as I could and still not being able to tell whether I was making any audible noise or not. The decible level was epic :)

Oh god… that MN-SF game was freaking amazing.
Our small group of Vikings fans were surrounded by obnoxious Frisco fans at first- the whole time smack talking and ridiculing everything from ‘drug dealer’ Harvin to ‘washed up’ Favre.
My main thought was “you a-holes have been irrelevant since the mid-90’s… check your egos at the door”- but after some bad noise here and there the Frisco crew moved to another area of the bar to cheer on their ’guaranteed! 2009 SuperBowl Champion 49ers!"

That final drive. My lord.
 We could hear the Frisco faithful celebrating and still hurling crap talk our way from the other side of the bar. One Niner fan with a pony tail (you could smell the ganja 60 feet away) was doing a little dance. It was over. No time-outs. Favre seemed tired. Clock ticked down.

Then the miracle happened- and we went absolutely ape sh*t. I literally launched myself off my high pub-table stool. Our small, faithful (and classy :D) Viking crew just went nuts… and those smug hippy Niner fans were dead silent. One of the guys with us blew his Viking horn and fans from other teams in the bar were clapping for us.

Watching those cocky Niners fans meekly walk out the door was one of the best feelings I’ve had watching a sports event. My voice was absolutely gone.
We didn’t return any of the crap talk. We just watched them leave, smiles on our faces. The conclusion to that game spoke louder than anything we could have said to those jerks as they left. Glorious… and really the start to a magical year.

… this was the first game on the road to an impressive run of superbowl victories for the Dallas Cowboys.

I can’t relive these moments without feeling sick. I remember how excited I was watching that very game, who could have predicted what a disaster it would turn into?

… about the 99 yard TD was the fact that it came after a stop at 4th and goal from the Vikings 1. Talk about back breaking.
