The Vikings' 13-4 record in 2022 was achieved in highly improbable fashion on multiple fronts, not the least of which of course was their 11-0 record in one-score games during the regular season.
Those close wins and some blowout losses led to a negative point differential for the season, extremely unusual for a team with nine more wins than losses.
A recently published list of the top 100 NFL players heading into 2023 gives us another example of how unusual last year's Vikings were.
ESPN's list is subjective, of course, and it is forward-looking rather than past-looking.
