Vikings Running Back Bill Brown #30 Gets The Handoff From Joe Kapp. I Think This Was A 1969 Game From

Vikings Coach Bud Grant. I loved those old "Pro" game day programs. Plus they made a really good season review/preview that could be bought at the newsstands.

Minnesota Vikings QB Bob Lee handing off to I think running back Robert Miller in the 1977 Division Playoff game against the LA Rams. The game is known as the "Mud Bowl". The Vikings won 14-7

#20 Viking Cornerback Bobby Bryant intercepting a pass late in the 4th quarter of the 1976 NFC championship game against the LA Rams. The receiver for the Rams was Ron Jessie. #43 Viking cornerback Nate Wright is watching. Rams QB Pat Hayden threw the pass. Bobby Bryant left his coverage and ran to the middle of the field to intercept the pass. Jessie had beaten Nate Wright so Bryant really saved the day. The Vikings were ahead 17-13 when Bryant made the interception and won the game 24-13.
