1975 - Chuck Foreman against the Buffalo Bills.  Ed White and Fran Tarkenton in the background.

Minnesota Viking quarterback #10 Fran Tarkenton. The game is at Metropolitan Stadium. I am going to guess the season is 1973. Once in awhile, the Vikings home jerseys did not have the gold and white stripes on the sleeves that season.

Viking running back Chuck Foreman.

Chuck Foreman

Clint Jones was a running back for the Minnesota Vikings. Played college ball for Michigan State. Was the Vikings 1967 #1 draft choice (one of three along with Gene Washington and Alan Page). The 2nd photo is from a 1967 preseason game against the NY Giants...3rd photo is a 1970 game against the Boston (New England) Patriots. the 4th is a sideline shot of Clint and Gene Washington at Metropolitan Stadium. The 5th is a mock up of a Topps 1970 football card showing a game in 1969 against the Cleveland Browns. The last photo shows QB Joe Kapp #11 handing off to Clint...I am going to guess that is a 1968 game agains the Packers in Milwaukee. (I can see the foul line of the back wall)
