The Longest Vikings TD Every Year (1992-2018)

The longest scoring play for the Vikings over each of the last 27 years. There are a couple that are missing, so I got the next closest one I had footage of.

One year had a note that it was 3rd longest. What was the longest?

Bro was high af every game too

[@BentonNelson]

[@kgerb96]

He was too stupid to run routs

[@DRBDouble004]

[@bleekblaw5446]

Fun video, I like the Reverse chronology method, thanks. Can't believe how many QBs we have had in last 26 years! Green bay, 2 or 3. Vikings 23 or 24

[@66limelight]

The revolving door of QBs started with Dennis Green. I believe Rich Gannon was his first starting QB followed by Sean Salisbury who was an adequate backup at best, Jim McMahon, Jeff George, Warren Moon, Brad Johnson, Randall Cunningham, Dante Culpepper. I'm sure I'm missing a couple more....can someone help me out for QBs during Denny Green's tenure? And remember it started with Rich Gannon who was a very good QB. It's a shame he didn't play his whole career here, or most of it anyway.

[@goatmaro9518]

If you don’t have a top 12 qb it’s hard with money to keep 1 qb

[@jerryw6699]

Yea, but a lot of those guys weren't really qbacks.

[@phils9691]

Don't forget Spergon Wynn, Jay Fiedler, Todd Bouman..

[@BigDaddy-xx1gk]

Funny thing is, even when GB sucked fuckin shit (1971-1992), they still only had 2 or 3 QBs. That's the thing about GB: They stubbornly hold on to outworn practices. Fuck Green Bay and all of their fans. I shit on them.

100cv cv He isn’t worth $28 million but we had better hope that he can play all 16 games. Sloter is all we have at backup. Hes another Speilman special QB who can’t pass the football. 7-9 in 2019.

[@bentennant5866]

The speed of Harvin was INSANE. Patterson was fast, no doubt, but the way Harvin just exploded around defenders who had an angle and then gained separation was truly elite.

[@cfapps7865]

Enjoyed that one . Percy was a great player. When he played. A few players I barely recall.

[@jdbly5934]

I always wonder how good Harvin would've been if not for injuries and turning into a total douche.

[@NS-qj8xj]

@@jdbly5934 He was a very good player, we were happy to have him in Seattle for that Super Bowl run/victory, he was key. Now as someone else also suffered from sleep apnea, I can tell you, the struggle is real and so are the migraines. :(

[@jdbly5934]

@@NS-qj8xj Oh I never said his headaches weren't real...but his ungrateful attitude toward the people in Minnesota who bent over backwards to get him the help he needed was really shocking. Then when he left, he even had the stones to badmouth the organization. That's where my diva comment came from.

[@briancoconut]

Pound for pound in my view toughest Viking ever!!

In 11, he was in the mid season mvp talk

I had to rewatch it, damn that's another level

[@Ken1698]

Yep both Percy and Patterson we're mega speed demons ...I wish Bridgewater would have worked out..poor guy that injury really hurt his career

[@RowdyWes]

Bridgewater sucked before his injury. Dude had comparable numbers to Christian Ponder. If you think he was good then you're an idiot.

[@markipleur]

Wesley Johnson this certainly hasn’t aged well

[@supervike1]

Wow, some great names throughout the years. Bonus points for a Harbaugh, a Ditka, and a Wayne Fontes cameo...

[@garycobiak5926]

Just realized we haven't returned a kickoff or a punt in 2 years (2016).

[@jameskane319]

Luxuries for Priefer having Harvin, Cordarelle, and Sherels to make him look good.

[@tylerturnage]

NFL doesn't want teams return kickoffs any more, claiming (rightly or wrongly) player safety. That's why they've made the rule changes about tandem blocks, touchback coming out to the 25, etc. Through wk15, there have only been 4 kickoff return TDs league wide. From 2013-2017 only an average of 7 return TDs per season. From 2007-2010, there were an avg of 20 kickoff return TDs per year.

[@NS-qj8xj]

Jack Del Rio VS Jim Harbaugh hahaha damn.... I'm feeling old!

[@libertylarry6766]

Man Harvin has wheels

[@kipperthevikingsfan4826]

I like the Vikings

[@michaelmarotta9476]

I forgot this but right before that 99 yard td pass by Frerotte the defense made a goal line stand. Makes it even cooler lol

[@isaacs3822]

It’s like a holiday every time Funky posts a new video. And it’s funny, I can remember exactly where I was for each of the TDs going back to Michael Bennett

[@rewadena4371]

Bennett's was a bust!!

[@andrewclover1462]

Only Joe Buck can make a call so bad that you wish your team hadn't just scored.

Dude Percy Harvin was incredible. I miss those years and it still hurts how we lost in the NFC Championship in 09 to the Saints

[@messengerofgodlightstorm438]

The Miracle Minnesota Vikings! Has always been my favorite team since the age of 6.. I have seen so many spectacular plays.. The amazing, Minnesota Vikings! A NFL football team That has had loads of talent.. Adrian Peterson, Randy Moss, Chris Carter.. That's just the name a few.. I have seen My team the Minnesota Vikings, many times.. They have never won a Super Bowl many Championships, But have lost 4 super bowls.. They're due for a Super Bowl.. Go Minnesota Vikings!!💯👏👏👏🙏👀2020!

[@cmweber01]

I can't imagine anyone being faster than Percy Harvin. I'd love to see him and Moss race goal line to goal line.

I know, I thought that was funny. I wonder who has a future coaching career out of current players?

[@dylansalerno8511]

I think it's funny how the longest TD in 98 was defensive despite their offense being the best in the league.

[@louisbk5003]

Dylan Salerno I would have guessed Moss,Carter, Reed, or Smith. Certainly not Duane Rudd!

[@jackmandu]

I always loved watching Robert Smith run.

[@nick56677]

Favre and Peterson get a lot of credit on that 09 team, but Harvin in my opinion was the teams MVP that year. Total game changer.

[@YO_MAMA_SUCKS_69]

Props to person who made this video this would take a lot of work I feel

[@TKFOH]

It's crazy, considering some of the players the Vikings have had over the years, that the longest pass play is Gus Frerotte to Bernard Berrian, and the longest run is Chester Taylor.

[@alwaysseekingsilver]

Man, I wish this video was a lot longer!

[@alexschmidt2895]

Thielen gonna Be in the Pro Football HOF someday!

[@cllcccic8270]

unless we keep saying that.

[@LukeR.5117]

No way. Getting in the HOF as a wide receiver is an incredible feat. There are so many players ahead of Thielen (and Diggs). A guy needs to be a top 3 WR during his time to even have a shot.

[@paulmax9728]

Loved this video. Only thing that spoiled it was hearing Berman's voice.

[@leonardshevlin7260]

Michael Bennett carried the ball with good form and didn't try to earn any style points by slowing down or doing a back flip or spinning the football on his finger. Very refreshing.

[@iLoveChrisSmoove]

Man I miss Percy Harvin.. His time with the Vikes was too short

I might watch one Vikings game a year, so these are sort of the cream and sugar you rarely have drinking your coffee black, but tastes like a special treat.

[@xandermclaughlin3039]

How did we go from drafting Percy Harvin and Coradalle Patterson to not having any punt returners who can even catch the ball

[@guyincognito9831]

Could you do longest play from scrimmage from each year?

[@st.christopher7614]

The fact that you saw no Adrian Peterson plays says a lot about the skill players they’ve had over the years

[@chuckroelofsphotography]

Haven't heard some of these names in eons...

[@tylergreaves4286]

Basically Percy Harvin highlights lol

[@uncensored008]

4 out of 26. He did have it every year he was with us, but it would be similar for every great return specialist.

[@Chagafinder]

Crazy how Patterson is still doing his thing

[@ryanjacobson2508]

The older clips are mostly taken from poorly done consumer tape recordings. The native quality of the actual broadcasts looked better. The NFL has the 1990 Superbowl on it's KZbin channel, and the video is sourced from the broadcast master so it looks quite good.

Kyle Crawford Not 100% sure but I think we gave up a first round pick. Started a lot of games for us

[@uncensored008]

I knew he coached for us, but yeah, I didn't know he played for us as well

[@daniellewis5474]

No wonder he's trash as a head coach.

[@ryanjacobson2508]

Del Rio had a weird career. He was above average but bounced to like 4 or 5 teams in 10 years. Either he was a pain in the ass that coaches and teammates didn't like, or maybe he got quickly dissatisfied with his pay and went to another team looking for a bigger payday.

[@nathaniellarson8]

We were spoiled getting Patterson right after Harvin for KR, but I'll take Harvin any day over him. As a KR, Patterson is special, Harvin was just extra special.
