The2017 season was theMinnesota Vikings' 57th in theNational Football League (NFL), and their fourth underhead coachMike Zimmer. With the team's home stadium,U.S. Bank Stadium, scheduled to hostSuper Bowl LII at the end of the season, the Vikings attempted to make history as the first team to play theSuper Bowl on their home field; in recording their best regular season record since1998, they clinched a first-round bye for the first time since2009 and became the eighth team in the Super Bowl era to qualify for the playoffs in a season in which their stadium hosted the Super Bowl. They defeated theNew Orleans Saints in the divisional round 29–24 on a walk-off play referred to as the "Minneapolis Miracle", but lost 38–7 to theeventual Super Bowl championPhiladelphia Eagles in theNFC Championship Game, preventing them from becoming the first team in NFL history to play a Super Bowl in their home stadium.

This was the first season since2006 without star running backAdrian Peterson on the roster, as the team declined his contract option in February.

With their win against theSaints in theNFC Divisional Round, Minnesota became the first team in theSuper Bowl era to advance to the conference championship game the same year they hosted the Super Bowl. Despite going to Lincoln Financial Field as three-point favorites, primarily due to a general lack of confidence in Eagles second-string quarterbackNick Foles, the Vikings lost in a massive upset to the number 1 seeded Philadelphia Eagles by a score of 38–7. Although the Vikings took an early lead on their opening drive via a pass from Case Keenum to Kyle Rudolph, the Eagles leveled the scores on a 50-yardPatrick Robinson interception return before scoring a further 31 unanswered points over the final three-quarters. This loss extended the Vikings' NFC title drought to 41 seasons, second only to the Detroit Lions' 48.

Pro Bowl

[edit]

Four Vikings players were elected to the Pro Bowl when the rosters were announced on December 19, 2017, with three-time selectionEverson Griffen, two-time selectionXavier Rhodes and first-timerAdam Thielen all named as starters, while Griffen's fellow third-timerAnthony Barr was named on the bench at outside linebacker behind the Cardinals'Chandler Jones and the Redskins'Ryan Kerrigan.[29][30] SafetyHarrison Smith was rated as the best safety in the league byPro Football Focus over the course of the season, but was not included in the roster for the Pro Bowl, leading to some considering him to be one of the biggest snubs of the season.[31][32][33]

Smith was eventually named to the NFC's Pro Bowl roster on January 22, after New York Giants safetyLandon Collins withdrew due to injury.Kyle Rudolph was also included afterJimmy Graham pulled out with an injury, whileLinval Joseph took the place of the Super Bowl-bound Philadelphia Eagles'Fletcher Cox. Smith will be appearing in his third straight Pro Bowl, while Rudolph and Joseph are appearing in their second career Pro Bowls.[34] Barr and Griffen also pulled out of the Pro Bowl due to injury, replaced byThomas Davis andMichael Bennett respectively.[35]
