Top five moments from the Minnesota Vikings season

Now that Vikings fans have had some time to think about the season, here are the five best moments.

Cousins, Rudolph and a playoff win against the Saints

Cousins found Adam Thielen who made an over-the-shoulder, highlight-reel catch against the Saints to set up first-and-goal for the Vikings, but the job wasn’t complete until later. The Saints defense held strong until third-and-goal, when Cousins faced the pressure and delivered a near-perfect ball to Rudolph, who used his length to make the catch and solidify the playoff victory against the Saints. That play, plus the Minneapolis miracle, can give the Vikings faithful a feeling of vindication after what happened in the 2009-10 season against New Orleans.
