13-4, eleven one-score wins, the Catch

Minnesota went 13-4 and won the NFC North in Kevin O'Connell's first season, but the underlying numbers told a different story. The Vikings won an NFL-record 11 one-score games and were outscored on the season. The team felt charmed all year, with Justin Jefferson's "Catch" against the Bills, a 33-26 overtime win that included a fourth-down toe-tap reception now in NFL Films folklore.

Jefferson won Offensive Player of the Year with 128 catches and 1,809 receiving yards. The defense, under Ed Donatell, was the league's worst in DVOA. The Vikings lost 31-24 at home to the Giants in the wild-card round, with Daniel Jones outplaying Kirk Cousins in a game that exposed the season-long defensive issues.
