Minnesota Vikings 1969: A Game-by-Game Guide
Relive the Minnesota Vikings' memorable 1969 season with this guide that explores the entire year game by game, from the heart-stopping drama on opening day against the Giants through the push to the NFL crown and the franchise's first spot in a Super Bowl.
Minnesota rose to the top of the league in 1969 led by its awesome defense but also behind the fiery leadership of quarterback Joe Kapp. The Purple People-Eaters and Kapp produced some amazing stats -- only one regular-season opponent scored more than 14 points, three times the Vikings scored more than 50 in a game -- and there were many highlights along the way, including Kapp's record-tying seven-touchdown bombing of the Colts, a victory over the previously undefeated Rams in a key late-season showdown and triumphs over the Rams and Browns in frigid and rollicking Metropolitan Stadium to earn the NFL crown and propel the Vikes to their first Super Bowl.
A full recap and box score from every game is included, so you can follow the exploits of Bud Grant's heroes from start to finish as they ushered in a new era of pro football excellence.
Whether you are a die-hard Vikings fan or an NFL history buff, you will enjoy this look back at the 1969 Minnesota Vikings.
