What were the five absolute best plays made by the Minnesota Vikings’ offense during their impressive 2017 NFL regular season?

A good portion of the Minnesota Vikings’ success in 2017 has had to do with the play of their defense. But make no mistake about it, the Vikings’ offense has had their share of impressive plays this season as well.

In the team’s first full year with Pat Shurmur calling the plays, Minnesota’s offense finished the season with a total of 40 touchdowns, the NFL’s 11th-best passing attack, and the seventh-best rushing offense. The Vikings’ offense also ended the year with 68 plays that resulted in gains of at least 20 yards (up from the 58 times they did this in 2016).

So of all the big-time plays that were made by Minnesota’s offense during the 2017 regular season, which five stood out as the best of the best?
