Relive the Minnesota Vikings' memorable 1970 season with this guide that explores the entire year game by game, from the sweet revenge on opening day against the Chiefs through the bitter playoff battle with the 49ers.
The Vikings overcame the contentious departure of 1969 hero Joe Kapp to have another stellar season in '70. Leading the way, as always, was the feared Purple People Eater defense headed by Alan Page, Carl Eller and Jim Marshall. Minnesota ran roughshod over the NFC Central, and there were many highlights along the way, including that opening day win against the Chiefs to get payback for the Super Bowl IV loss, an astonishing 41-point shellacking of the eventual NFC champion Cowboys and two crucial victories over the playoff-bound Lions.
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 an added bonus, links to several video highlights are included to add more depth to the story of the 1970 Vikings. Whether you are a die-hard Vikings fan or an NFL history buff, you will enjoy this look back at the 1970 Minnesota Vikings.
