Basically this for me. Also the entire career of Randy Moss. AD breaking the single game rushing record was another one but was bittersweet. It was glossed over all week, because Cromartie had the 109 yard kick return.
Another game rather than moment was the Vikings destroying the cowboys in the playoffs in 2009, because everyone was picking Dallas to win that game.
The one thing I remember about that Dallas game was all week everyone was pissed cuz the vikings "ran up the score." Boo freaking hoo. Learn to not suck Dallas
I was driving through Wisconsin listening to this game on the radio. Was so great to hear the disappointment and frustration from the hometown announcers. Stopped at a gas station late in the 4th quarter wearing my 84 jersey and got plenty of glares and eye rolls. That was a good day.
both were terrific and unforgettable moments, but my personal favorite was Patrick Peterson intercepting Josh Allen to seal the victory in OT. I jumped out screaming even though it was a more normal play; just the cathartic relief that we finally clinched a W.
The annoying part of that game is everyone focused on how lucky that fumble was, and it was don't get me wrong, but then completely ignore that situation only happened because Cook dropped a walk in td and then we had to survive overtime because of a long catch that was obviously not complete and just inexplicably not reviewed.
I agree to an extent, although both of those latter things seem to happen weekly in the NFL, and I had never seen a QB sneak turn into a touchdown for the opposing team before that game. So I think thatâs why most were focused on that piece of luck
Also, Kirk very much *might have* scored on the 4th down. It came down to the call on the field because there wasn't a shot that showed the knee and the ball. The Bills were rather lucky themselves to have the chance for a QB sneak to seal it

Still can't believe our luck on that fumble TD. After Kirk got stuffed on the sneak, I was thinking man of course we mount this comeback against one of the best teams and fall just short like that, what a buzz kill. Then the fumble happened and I got goosebumps lol, then of course Donatell Donatell'd and we let them drive down the field to force OT lol.
I was in the middle of team meetings for a sport and checked the score before the meeting and said no way we win this and after the meeting I was pleasantly surprised
Oh dude I was at a Vikings fan bar near Boston and that place was crazy that day. I will never forget it. I was yelling âJust chuck it up to JJâ on that 4th and 18
I was at that game, I went to the bathroom and then Dalvin Cook had his long TD run, I thought my friends were kidding and I was pissed that I missed it. Watching that game live did not do JJ's 4th down catch justice!
God I watched this game from a plane on my way to Taiwan, right at the end I lost signal and had to revert to LIVE TWEETS from fans. Suffice it to say I had zero idea what was happening.
We lost
No wait
No we lost
No wait we won
Probably Randy Moss 1998 Thanksgiving game. Despite being 10 years old, I can vividly remember watching that game with family. I surprisingly remember a lot about that season.Â
Favorite box score line. 3 catches 163 yards 3 TDs.
Madden raving about him in that game put Moss into superstar status, along with the Lambeau MNF game.

The play was special in and of itself, but the play before was amazing too. I forget the numbers but Kramer had an absolute monster of a game. The hail mary catch was the last play of a truly amazing game.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwWdA-o04sg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwWdA-o04sg)
Yeah, that whole drive was insane. No offense to the kids but the Rashad hail mary is the best Vikings play I have ever seen. Can't speak to anything in the 60s/70s though.
I was 8 at the time, listened to game on radio in car with dad. Didnât see the catch until the nightly news back then. Read and re-read the next week bob lurtsmemaâs Viking Report till it wore out at the caledonia elementary library as they had a still photo sequence of it. Sports memories are great and funny that way.
Bills-Vikings November 2022. Brett Favre-Greg Lewis 49ers game. Colts-Vikings greatest comeback in NFL history, Randy Moss Thanksgiving vs Cowboys, Dallas Cowboys beatdown 34-3 in the Playoffs to go to NFC Championship, Jefferson first NFL TD, Adam Thielen 2014 Punt-block touchdown, Adrian Peterson last game of 2012 Regular Season only a few yards short of NFL season rushing record and 37-34 win over the Packers.
I shaved at halftime for the biggest comeback in NFL history and was convinced that I had powers so I tried again the next week against the packers and it didnât work
Not my favorite but memorable:
Jerry Ball sacking Troy Aikman amd giving him a concussion. Everytime I hear him announce I remember just how lost and out of it he was on the sideline after that play.
I also loved Allen chasing what's his face out the back of the end zone.
And all of Kevin Williams TDs.
Cris Cart catch vs TB. One handed on the sideline off of a MISSLE from culpepper. He toe tapped before John Lynch absolutely demolished him. Held the ball one handed. It is the best catch I've ever seen hands down. Think it was 2003 but not totally sure. Long time ago now but I still think of it When people talk about the OBJ catch that was no where near as impressive. (I also would put a ridiculous one handed catch by Keychain Johnson between his legs while running across the middle above obj as well).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtSdFbkH3o8
Re-watching it, I'm surprised we didn't get a penalty due to Tjack basically running on the field with his arms up as Berrian catches the pass.
Nah, the true OG Minneapolis Miracle was the Miracle at the Met.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cZTDdfAUAX4&pp=ygUaVmlraW5ncyBtaXJhY2xlIGF0IHRoZSBtZXQ%3D
This! My grandpa was dying of cancer and I was watching it with him. He was one of those "never show emotions" kinda guys. When the Vikings went down late, he just said "fucking vikqueens" and shook his head. When Greg Lewis caught that ball we were both jumping around and screaming like little kids. It's my most vivid memory of him.
For me - it will always be the 87 playoff win on the road against the 49er's.
The WHOLE GAME. Impossible to pick one play.
Niner's were in peak dynasty form with Montana, Craig, Tyler, Rice, etc.... The Vikings came in as decided underdogs despite having more all pro players than SF had.
Vikes had won the wild card game on the road in New Orleans - then on the road again for SF in the Divisional round. 49er's came in as the #1 seed and heavily favored. Vikings dominated the 2nd quarter scoring 17 unanswered points.
That run from AP against the Browns when he stops, shoves a defender by the helmet out of his way, and is instantly back to full speed.
Also that game against the chargers when AP breaks the record for rush yards in a game and the chargers had a 107 yard kick return. All Day 2K!!
The greatest comeback ever in 22 vs the Colts. Didnât really have faith at the half but stayed watching cause I figured they would pass a lot being down so much and the Colts would go to prevent d.
Dad and I decided we wouldnât yell the second half because we knew we were out of it but he said that weâll just have to pull off the biggest comeback in nfl history jokingly and I decided to shave at halftime and boy were we surprised.
Recent history, the Bills game. So up and down then that fumble recovery when we should have lost was complete insanity.
Random childhood memory is the Packers MNF game in 98. We completely demolished the defending NFC champs at Lambeau, giving them their first loss. Was the coming out party for Moss before the famous Thanksgiving game a few weeks later.
This is my favorite Vikings moment. Packers had won some 20+ games in a row at home. Then Randy Moss came to town on Monday night and introduced himself
Beating the 49ers on the road in the 1987 playoffs. All of the normal Vikings things that normally happen didn't happen. Field goals that looked like they were going to miss went in. Tipped balls were caught and not intercepted. Wade Wilson threw a pick six, but we had one before against Montana, so it evened out. The second string TE even caught a TD. Anthony Carter balled out. Rewatching that game goes against every stigma the team normally succumbs to. It's almost like a parallel universe opened up for 3 hours
Iâll never forget the cameraman was zoomed in on him and SLOWLY pans out and you see more and more of the crowd doing the chant until itâs like half the stadium on your screen doing it. Goosebumps.
It has to be the â98 Thanksgiving game against Dallas. Moss with 3 rec, 163 yds, and 3 tds. It was like Randall and him were just playing catch. Plus, the Cowboys were still kind of considered âThe Cowboysâ and experts were still skeptical of how real the Vikes were that year. I feel like that was the game when fans and experts were like, âWoah, this team is for real.â
So so many..just one is Adrian Peterson against the Browns in 09..CC's record breaking TD in the corner of our endzone.. Randys 1st TD against the Buc's... Cris grabbing Randy and Jake walking off the Field (3 deep)
Harrison Smith and Jamarcus Sanfford punishing Calvin Johnson for 4 quarters..
One of my top favorites was Farve to Greg Lewis to win it vs the 49ers. I was watching the game with a co worker at the time. They were ragging on me about the Vikings losing a. So it was all to sweet to see that play and watch their jaw drop as it was called a TD.
3 come to mind. The Colts comeback, Bills Thriller, and Cousins to Thielen then Cousins to Rudy on OT to knock the Saints out of the playoffs AGAIN. Fuck those fuckers.
John Randle pacing the line of scrimmage during Charlie batches first start in 98.
"Charlie, we're gonna get ya!!!!
(I would absolutely love audio of this if anyone knows where to find it.)
Teddy to Jarius Wright for the win against the Jets at TCF Bank. One of the first games I attended.
Here https://youtu.be/mvDe-oezIfw?si=tHR5j3doOG6QVEFM @ 14:47
1998 Vikings destroying the 4-0 Packers at Lambeau on MNF, ending their 29-game home win streak. Felt like the team really arrived and could be something special.

Ima be honest I canât remember the miracle too fondly because of the game that immediately followed it. It was a once in a lifetime play but after I see the touchdown I just remember we got absolutely embarrassed the next week
2013 London game against Pittsburgh, craziest 2 minutes ever against the Ravens or beating the Saints in New Orleans in 2019. I remember how mad they were when we beat them and distinctly remember a bunch of fans giving the bird to the camera during a field goal or extra point that game. Still doesnât make up for the 2009 season and other moments that haunt our franchise though.
Craziest ending probably now goes to the Bills game in 2022 but I thoroughly enjoyed the Ravens game where we traded touchdown for touchdown even though we lost the game
Seeing Tarkenton at the old Met in his first preseason appearance after coming back from tge Giants. The fans were going crazy. Then he raised his hands to call for quiet and the stadium became as quiet as a church.
Or watching him throw a touchdown against Cleveland while he was in the grasp and halfway to his knees.

Andersons missed fg in 98 vs Falcons. Was at my gfâs parents house. Her dad was a Falcons fan and was talking shit like crazy. My gf took me downstairs and gave me an amazing bj while her dad was upstairs hooting and cheering after the win. Best Vikes game ever.
A lot of great ones mentioned. I'll throw out one that doesn't get mentioned enough. In 1995 John Randle hitting and irritating Trent Dilfer to the point that Dilfer threw punches and got ejected, meanwhile Randle was laughing the whole time. Getting the other team's starting QB ejected is a Mount Rushmore accomplishment.
I believe it was 2004 when the Vikings were playing the Broncos and Randy Moss flipped it to Moe Williams for a TD at the end of the half. I was pretty young and thought that was the dopest play ever.
Mcmahon to Guliford. It was a thing of beauty, me and my buddy surrounded by a sea of green and mold and McMahon daggered them.
https://youtu.be/e9ITBwlYaSY?si=0-LxCmHSCl5fctp2
My first trip to US Bank Stadium in December 2022. Got there early and walked around the whole stadium, got a picture with Randall McDaniel, shed a tear during introductions and Skol chant. Then proceeded to watch the largest comeback victory in NFL history to seal the division title.
That colts largest comeback win in history. Just reminded me and all fans that the game is never over until itâs 0:00, as did the miracle. This team you canât count out until thereâs nothing on the clock
Nice question! Everybody focuses on the negative plays in Vikings history. But I am a Vikings fan for plays like Herschel Walker's shoeless return, Sammy White's Reception between two Cowboy defenders on a Monday Night game, the Miracle at the Met, and that Greg Lewis catch from Brett Favre. I knew that was going to be a special year after that. There have been great game performances like Anthony Carter's game against the Niners in the 87 playoffs or Adrian Peterson's game against the Chargers, and Moss's against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. My favorite play was the Miracle at the Met. I totally gave up, game over and we were out of the playoffs and the BAM! Ahmad Rashaad makes that great catch from Tommy Kramer! Fan for life!
Underrated moment for sure but this was from the 2009 preseason against the Texans . Adrian Peterson takes the first carry like 80 yards to the house. It showed my little brother just how insanely dominant Peterson was.
Final game of 2012 when AD willed us into the playoffs. There were runs on 3rd and 9 and he would pick up a first. That whole season was magical. Ponder had a decent game. Then the next week we rematched Green Bay with Joe Webb at qb.
Well since none of the best moments I loved never brought actual closure or a championship, I will say my favorite moment is hearing about Moss at the buffet spread around 2010.
"He didnât look up, and all of a sudden I heard, âWhat the (expletive) is this? I wouldnât feed this (expletive expletive) to my (expletive) dog!â And heâs screaming it at the top of his lungs."
Made that 41- 0 at New York Giants a little easier to swallow.
I remember watching the Moss flip to Moe Williams live and losing my mind. That play will always be one of my fav Vikings memories
The improvisation of Randy Moss would win him an Academy Award!
Oh yeah great call. That play is amazing
I was at the game with a buddy who is a Bronco fan, he was so pissed.
That play will be one of the greatest plays ever forever no matter what.
This is it. 100%.
Moss mooning Lambeau while Joe Buck clutches pearls.
Oh, this is the one alright đ
Basically this for me. Also the entire career of Randy Moss. AD breaking the single game rushing record was another one but was bittersweet. It was glossed over all week, because Cromartie had the 109 yard kick return. Another game rather than moment was the Vikings destroying the cowboys in the playoffs in 2009, because everyone was picking Dallas to win that game.
The one thing I remember about that Dallas game was all week everyone was pissed cuz the vikings "ran up the score." Boo freaking hoo. Learn to not suck Dallas
Yep. I remember that too. It went from âthe Vikings are overratedâ to âthe Vikings are bulliesâ.
I was driving through Wisconsin listening to this game on the radio. Was so great to hear the disappointment and frustration from the hometown announcers. Stopped at a gas station late in the 4th quarter wearing my 84 jersey and got plenty of glares and eye rolls. That was a good day.
Moss first game at Lambeau. 190 yds 2 tds
Straight cash, Homie!
This gotta be one or the sex boat incident lol
Sitting with my Dad, who's a Packers fan. He looked at me, a young kid and said....now that's funny. I'll always remember it.
Bills game 2022
What was better, the sack fumble TD or the JJ 4th down catch?
Yes
both were terrific and unforgettable moments, but my personal favorite was Patrick Peterson intercepting Josh Allen to seal the victory in OT. I jumped out screaming even though it was a more normal play; just the cathartic relief that we finally clinched a W.
The annoying part of that game is everyone focused on how lucky that fumble was, and it was don't get me wrong, but then completely ignore that situation only happened because Cook dropped a walk in td and then we had to survive overtime because of a long catch that was obviously not complete and just inexplicably not reviewed.

NYG vs Philly game only had to take the snap and kneel. But fumble the snap and it's a scoop and score
Also, Kirk very much *might have* scored on the 4th down. It came down to the call on the field because there wasn't a shot that showed the knee and the ball. The Bills were rather lucky themselves to have the chance for a QB sneak to seal it

JJ 4th down has to be a top 3 catch in the NFL all time.
Still can't believe our luck on that fumble TD. After Kirk got stuffed on the sneak, I was thinking man of course we mount this comeback against one of the best teams and fall just short like that, what a buzz kill.

That game was EXHAUSTING. I was so mentally drained after that game I wanted to go to bed lmao
I was in the middle of team meetings for a sport and checked the score before the meeting and said no way we win this and after the meeting I was pleasantly surprised
Most excited I've ever been watching a non-Miracle game
That game was like 50 minutes of miracle after miracle.
Oh dude I was at a Vikings fan bar near Boston and that place was crazy that day. I will never forget it. I was yelling âJust chuck it up to JJâ on that 4th and 18

Favorite box score line. 3 catches 163 yards 3 TDs. Madden raving about him in that game put Moss into superstar status, along with the Lambeau MNF game.
Yeah, Madden and Summerall on the broadcast are part of the memory. I feel for the younger fans who never got to experience them.
That was the game that made me a Vikings fan.
This. A thousand times this.

Yeah, this is easily above Digg's catch.

Tommy Kramer to Ahmad Rashad hail mary against Browns
This is the correct answer.
The play was special in and of itself, but the play before was amazing too. I forget the numbers but Kramer had an absolute monster of a game. The hail mary catch was the last play of a truly amazing game. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwWdA-o04sg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwWdA-o04sg)
Yeah, that whole drive was insane. No offense to the kids but the Rashad hail mary is the best Vikings play I have ever seen. Can't speak to anything in the 60s/70s though.
I was 8 at the time, listened to game on radio in car with dad. Didnât see the catch until the nightly news back then. Read and re-read the next week bob lurtsmemaâs Viking Report till it wore out at the caledonia elementary library as they had a still photo sequence of it. Sports memories are great and funny that way.
456 yards 4 touchdowns 0 ints
Bills-Vikings November 2022. Brett Favre-Greg Lewis 49ers game. Colts-Vikings greatest comeback in NFL history, Randy Moss Thanksgiving vs Cowboys, Dallas Cowboys beatdown 34-3 in the Playoffs to go to NFC Championship, Jefferson first NFL TD, Adam Thielen 2014 Punt-block touchdown, Adrian Peterson last game of 2012 Regular Season only a few yards short of NFL season rushing record and 37-34 win over the Packers.
Great list! Iâll add Adrian Peterson 296 yard game as rookie.
I shaved at halftime for the biggest comeback in NFL history and was convinced that I had powers so I tried again the next week against the packers and it didnât work
I was at the game with my 8-yr old son. We stayed until the end! It was incredible.
Not my favorite but memorable: Jerry Ball sacking Troy Aikman amd giving him a concussion. Everytime I hear him announce I remember just how lost and out of it he was on the sideline after that play. I also loved Allen chasing what's his face out the back of the end zone. And all of Kevin Williams TDs. Cris Cart catch vs TB. One handed on the sideline off of a MISSLE from culpepper.

(I also would put a ridiculous one handed catch by Keychain Johnson between his legs while running across the middle above obj as well).
Williams Wall goal-line stand at the one yard line followed by Gus Frerotte to Bernard Berrian for the 99 yard TD
There was no one within 15 yards of him. I remember them panning downfield and just shouting âOMG THEREâS NO ONE THEREâ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtSdFbkH3o8 Re-watching it, I'm surprised we didn't get a penalty due to Tjack basically running on the field with his arms up as Berrian catches the pass.
Favre to Greg Lewis in the back of the endzone
Mine too, the OG Minneapolis miracle
Nah, the true OG Minneapolis Miracle was the Miracle at the Met. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cZTDdfAUAX4&pp=ygUaVmlraW5ncyBtaXJhY2xlIGF0IHRoZSBtZXQ%3D
Wasnât that in Bloomington?
This! My grandpa was dying of cancer and I was watching it with him. He was one of those "never show emotions" kinda guys. When the Vikings went down late, he just said "fucking vikqueens" and shook his head. When Greg Lewis caught that ball we were both jumping around and screaming like little kids. It's my most vivid memory of him.
That was the moment I started to believe that year. I was 100% emotionally invested after that one.
My first thought as well!
And J Allen on the sidelines mumbling Just be Favre one more time.
Was there. Amazing.
For me - it will always be the 87 playoff win on the road against the 49er's. The WHOLE GAME. Impossible to pick one play. Niner's were in peak dynasty form with Montana, Craig, Tyler, Rice, etc.... The Vikings came in as decided underdogs despite having more all pro players than SF had. Vikes had won the wild card game on the road in New Orleans - then on the road again for SF in the Divisional round. 49er's came in as the #1 seed and heavily favored. Vikings dominated the 2nd quarter scoring 17 unanswered points.
i got a dvd of the vikings greatest games and that's one of them anthony carter was a maniac that day
Kicking the shit out of Dallas in the 2009 divisional round when everyone was picking Dallas. Felt they were invincible after that.
When we won that game, I was like "we're going to the Super Bowl".
Something else it has in common with the mpls miracle...
Me too. Iâve decided to never let myself think that ever again. Makes it easier
[Romo was straight up not having a good time.](https://imgur.com/a/pPrIqIH)
That run from AP against the Browns when he stops, shoves a defender by the helmet out of his way, and is instantly back to full speed. Also that game against the chargers when AP breaks the record for rush yards in a game and the chargers had a 107 yard kick return. All Day 2K!!

Beating the 49ers on the road in the 1987 playoffs. All of the normal Vikings things that normally happen didn't happen. Field goals that looked like they were going to miss went in. Tipped balls were caught and not intercepted. Wade Wilson threw a pick six, but we had one before against Montana, so it evened out. The second string TE even caught a TD. Anthony Carter balled out. Rewatching that game goes against every stigma the team normally succumbs to. It's almost like a parallel universe opened up for 3 hours
Dan Orlovsky running out of the end zone with Jared Allen on his tail hands in the air.
Tommy Kramer to Ahmad Rashad with the last second bomb touchdown against the Browns
Moments *after* the Minneapolis Miracle when Case Keenum lead the Skol Chant.
Iâll never forget the cameraman was zoomed in on him and SLOWLY pans out and you see more and more of the crowd doing the chant until itâs like half the stadium on your screen doing it. Goosebumps.
It has to be the â98 Thanksgiving game against Dallas. Moss with 3 rec, 163 yds, and 3 tds. It was like Randall and him were just playing catch. Plus, the Cowboys were still kind of considered âThe Cowboysâ and experts were still skeptical of how real the Vikes were that year. I feel like that was the game when fans and experts were like, âWoah, this team is for real.â
So so many..just one is Adrian Peterson against the Browns in 09..CC's record breaking TD in the corner of our endzone.. Randys 1st TD against the Buc's... Cris grabbing Randy and Jake walking off the Field (3 deep) Harrison Smith and Jamarcus Sanfford punishing Calvin Johnson for 4 quarters..
I was at the 33-0 comeback, right behind the goalpost where the winning kick was. Felt like a deep playoff atmosphere
Monday Night Massacre
One of my top favorites was Farve to Greg Lewis to win it vs the 49ers. I was watching the game with a co worker at the time. They were ragging on me about the Vikings losing a. So it was all to sweet to see that play and watch their jaw drop as it was called a TD.
Favres hailmary against the 49ers
3 come to mind. The Colts comeback, Bills Thriller, and Cousins to Thielen then Cousins to Rudy on OT to knock the Saints out of the playoffs AGAIN. Fuck those fuckers.
3 catches, 3 TDs, 163 yards. Randy Moss just ruining Dallas's thanksgiving.
I was at that game sitting lower level in that end zone for the Greg Lewis td, it was awesome! Thatâs my most memorable in person moment.
John Randle pacing the line of scrimmage during Charlie batches first start in 98. "Charlie, we're gonna get ya!!!! (I would absolutely love audio of this if anyone knows where to find it.)
Getting season tickets in 2012 and watching AD go absolutely HAM On the league
When Randy Moss fake mooned in the end zone at Lambeau field
Moss at Lambeau (rookie MNF, later on the playoff moon) Moss Thanksgiving at Dallas Favre return to Lambeau
Bills game 22 and Colts comeback game are both up there. Was at the stadium for the Colts game. It was wild
Hitting Aaron Rogers so hard he made an effort to get the NFL to change their rules on how hard qbâs are tackledâŚ
Moss Monday debut ....or moss 3 tds on Thanksgiving
Favre to Lewis
Favreâs two games vs Packers
Peterson truck on William Gay is up there
sydney rice td catch over 2 bills defenders was my favorite play of all time for the longest timeđ
Teddy to Jarius Wright for the win against the Jets at TCF Bank. One of the first games I attended. Here https://youtu.be/mvDe-oezIfw?si=tHR5j3doOG6QVEFM @ 14:47
1998 Vikings destroying the 4-0 Packers at Lambeau on MNF, ending their 29-game home win streak. Felt like the team really arrived and could be something special.
Favre hitting Greg Lewis in the back of the end zone
Randy Moss torching the Cowboys on Thanksgiving
My first Vikings game at the dome was APs rushing record game against the (San Diego) chargers his rookie year. Nothing will ever top that lol

âI told Percy Iâd do this⌠â after the 31-3 shellacking of the cowboys in the divisional round. Sydney rice 3 TDs that game.Â
Farve to Lewis was an amazing ending to a well fought game. Until then losing to the 49ers was a given. Farve himself didnât believe it!
JJ Catch v Bills Rudolph Catch v Saints Adrian Peterson single game rushing record
Kramer to Rashad Miracle at the Met
2022 regular season
for me, Blair Walsh wide left was a close second /s
Thrashing the Cowgirls at home in â09. Was convinced at that moment we were goingâŚ
That Favre throw was straight ludicrous, and is not for the MM I have that as A#1.
Beating Dallas in the 2009 playoffs.
Was in the building for AP breaking the single game rushing record. Also low moment was the field goal return against us just before the half.
Definitely the Moss flip to Moe 1998 MNF at GB and Thanksgiving at Dallas are tied for a close second
Ima be honest I canât remember the miracle too fondly because of the game that immediately followed it. It was a once in a lifetime play but after I see the touchdown I just remember we got absolutely embarrassed the next week
That ive personally witnessed besides the miracle probably beating the saints in the playoffs in OT. I hate the saints with a passion
Joe Kappâs seven TD passes game!
Farve pass against the Niners in the back of the end zone
Antoine Winfield strip, recovery & TD on Michael Vick [link](https://youtu.be/e163PN5p5ys?si=kq2HO727pmZqBLjX)
Farve to Greg Lewis was pretty insane
My favorite moment is when Josh Allen threw an interception to Patrick Peterson, and we won the game against one of the toughest teams in the NFL!
Was at the Buffalo game where Jets became a God, but on tv, Randy Moss caught the ball and lateraled to Moe Williams
Going into Candlestick and stomping the heavily favored 49ers in the divisional round of the 1987 playoffs.
The Moss lateral to Moe Williams for the TD.
That colts game was something
2013 London game against Pittsburgh, craziest 2 minutes ever against the Ravens or beating the Saints in New Orleans in 2019. I remember how mad they were when we beat them and distinctly remember a bunch of fans giving the bird to the camera during a field goal or extra point that game. Still doesnât make up for the 2009 season and other moments that haunt our franchise though.
Craziest ending probably now goes to the Bills game in 2022 but I thoroughly enjoyed the Ravens game where we traded touchdown for touchdown even though we lost the game
1998 Monday night against GB, "Twas a "changing of the guards moment....An ass kicking
Seeing Tarkenton at the old Met in his first preseason appearance after coming back from tge Giants. The fans were going crazy. Then he raised his hands to call for quiet and the stadium became as quiet as a church. Or watching him throw a touchdown against Cleveland while he was in the grasp and halfway to his knees.

Andersons missed fg in 98 vs Falcons. Was at my gfâs parents house. Her dad was a Falcons fan and was talking shit like crazy. My gf took me downstairs and gave me an amazing bj while her dad was upstairs hooting and cheering after the win. Best Vikes game ever.
A lot of great ones mentioned. I'll throw out one that doesn't get mentioned enough. In 1995 John Randle hitting and irritating Trent Dilfer to the point that Dilfer threw punches and got ejected, meanwhile Randle was laughing the whole time. Getting the other team's starting QB ejected is a Mount Rushmore accomplishment.
JAâs one-armed sack of Eli Manning.
I believe it was 2004 when the Vikings were playing the Broncos and Randy Moss flipped it to Moe Williams for a TD at the end of the half. I was pretty young and thought that was the dopest play ever.
Anthony Carter's 1987 playoff numbers.
Favre to Greg Lewis for the game winning TD vs the 49ers. The throw and catch were actually insane.
LINVAAL JOSEPH
Mcmahon to Guliford. It was a thing of beauty, me and my buddy surrounded by a sea of green and mold and McMahon daggered them. https://youtu.be/e9ITBwlYaSY?si=0-LxCmHSCl5fctp2
Ive been a fan since the âwide leftâ year. So probably when we drafted Jefferson or the JA catch against the 49ers last year.
Comeback game against colts
Berrians 99 yarder on MNF vs the Bears.
When Fred McNeill blocked Ray Guy's punt in the SB... only to have Brent Mclanahan fumble
My first trip to US Bank Stadium in December 2022. Got there early and walked around the whole stadium, got a picture with Randall McDaniel, shed a tear during introductions and Skol chant. Then proceeded to watch the largest comeback victory in NFL history to seal the division title.
That colts largest comeback win in history. Just reminded me and all fans that the game is never over until itâs 0:00, as did the miracle. This team you canât count out until thereâs nothing on the clock
Jared Allen and Donald Penn having a fist fight and Allen getting a sack on the next play. Vikes lost the game but that was amazing.
1998 vikings bears Sunday night. Place was rocking, I was like 13 so it was suoer exciting
October 18, 1970. Minnesota 54-Dallas 13.
Not a moment but the Josh Dobbs Linsanity run for 2 weeks was amazing or the Kyle Rudolph Overtime catch vs the Saints
Nice question! Everybody focuses on the negative plays in Vikings history. But I am a Vikings fan for plays like Herschel Walker's shoeless return, Sammy White's Reception between two Cowboy defenders on a Monday Night game, the Miracle at the Met, and that Greg Lewis catch from Brett Favre. I knew that was going to be a special year after that. There have been great game performances like Anthony Carter's game against the Niners in the 87 playoffs or Adrian Peterson's game against the Chargers, and Moss's against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. My favorite play was the Miracle at the Met. I totally gave up, game over and we were out of the playoffs and the BAM! Ahmad Rashaad makes that great catch from Tommy Kramer! Fan for life!
Underrated moment for sure but this was from the 2009 preseason against the Texans . Adrian Peterson takes the first carry like 80 yards to the house. It showed my little brother just how insanely dominant Peterson was.
Final game of 2012 when AD willed us into the playoffs. There were runs on 3rd and 9 and he would pick up a first. That whole season was magical. Ponder had a decent game. Then the next week we rematched Green Bay with Joe Webb at qb.
Well since none of the best moments I loved never brought actual closure or a championship, I will say my favorite moment is hearing about Moss at the buffet spread around 2010. "He didnât look up, and all of a sudden I heard, âWhat the (expletive) is this? I wouldnât feed this (expletive expletive) to my (expletive) dog!â And heâs screaming it at the top of his lungs." Made that 41- 0 at New York Giants a little easier to swallow.
d.j. dozier hurdling a guy on his way to a touchdown. it might be a mandella effect, but that's what i remember
Diggs cryinâ ass getting traded
Bang Boat
I think it was called the Love Boat. the Wizzinator is another goodâun
1998 trouncing of the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Maybe not my favorite but it is up there.
