  Both these teams uniforms are pure basic perfection, smeared with just the right amount of mud.  No modern colors or fancy graphics can make them look better.

  I wish someone anyone could show the actual broadcast of this game even just the second half it's a forgotten classic

  Sad to know Willie Ellison died about a year ago. He was a fine RB. RIP

  As a Viking fan since 1963, I remember this game like it was played last week.  I was at old Metropolitan Stadium, sitting in the press box with my uncle, a young sports reporter for the Minneapolis Star Tribune. In the tear stained stigmata that is being a Viking fan, this was one of my proudest moments..  The “Purple Gang” went on to beat Cleveland, for the NFL Championship, but ultimately succumbed to Kansas City in Super Bowl IV.  However, for that one year 1969, the final season before the merger, I can proudly say to this day that my Vikings were NFL Champions.

  The Vikings have had many great teams since '69 however THIS Viking team was so much fun and exciting to watch - especially the D and Joe Kapp.

  Two great defensive lines. Two classic old school QB's. Still remember watching these with my dad. I was 5. I can't stand the NFL over the last decade.

  Gabriel and Kapp the combined grace and beauty of a Lugwrench.

  Joe Kapp is still my all time favorite Viking on my all time favorite Viking team. I was 12 years old and that season cemented my fan loyalty for life.
