1969 Viking - Packer game. This game was held at Memorial Stadium on the University of MN campus. The Twins were using the Met for a playoff series against the Orioles the next day. In the photo, Dave Osborn #41 has just scored a 2nd quarter touchdown to put the Vikings ahead 13-0. The Vikings won the game 19-7. In the photo you see Tight End #89 Kent Kramer, Offensive Guard #64 Milt Sunde and #11 quarterback Joe Kapp walking off the field. #66 for the Packers is Ray Nitschke.

#29 Karl Kassulke, #70 Jim Marshall, #81 Carl Eller, trying to tackle Chicago Bear #41 Brian Piccolo. I think that is #77 Gary Larson behind Carl. I am going to guess the year is 1968.
Paul Krause #22, Jim Marshall #70 make the tackle against Detroit Lions #24 Rb Mel Farr. Viking Linebacker #60 Roy Winston coming to help and #26 Viking Rb Clint Jones on the sideline. The game is at Tiger Stadium.

1980 Miracle at the Met. #28 Ahmad Rashad catches walk off TD against the Cleveland Browns. #80 Terry LeCount gives the TD signal. The pass was thrown by Tommy Kramer.

Francis Tarkenton dropping back to pass. I'm guessing this is 1963. #20 behind Fran is running back Tommy Mason. Tommy was the Vikings #1 draft choice in 1961. Fran was drafted in the 3rd round. Just as an FYI, Middle Linebacker Rip Hawkins was the 2nd round draft choice. Pretty good hall for that first draft.
