Best Viking game ever? Joe Kapp leads the guys back against the HATED Rams, and that overated ‘Big Oak Tree’, Roman Gabriel, in the Dec. ‘69 playoff game!

That was great, and involved a key false start call at the goal line against the Rams when both Alan Page and the official saw a Rams offensive lineman's finger move before the snap.

That forced a Rams pass-play, resulting in an interception in the end-zone that sealed the playoff win for the Vikings.

My personal favorite Vikings win is the 1980 Tommy Kramer Hail Mary to Ahmad Rashad that put them in the playoffs, rather than going home.

I realize this is all quite boring for most Freeper football fans, but we Minnesota sports followers cling to our guns and rare sports moments.
