Top 5 Plays of 2014

By Carl Knowles

The 2014 Minnesota Vikings season was the franchise’s 54th season in the NFL and the first under head coach Mike Zimmer. It also marked the first of two seasons in which the Vikings will play their home games outdoors at TCF Banks Stadium. Nonetheless, one of the more significant notes to the 2014 season was the emergence of rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.

The Vikings fell short of the playoffs with a 7-9 record, but Zimmer and his coaching staff orchestrated vast improvements in the defense from the previous year. A strong finish down the stretch and encouraging play from the quarterback position has Vikings fans optimistic that this team is headed in the right direction.

The 2014 season has given us plenty of highlights to talk about this offseason. So, to get the conversation started, I thought I’d get mic’d up and share my Top 5 Plays of 2014 in video format.

Enjoy the video, and be sure to share your favorite 2014 highlights.
