Those guys were brutal but they kept it in the play. It wasn't very often if at all you ever saw them taunting or dancing around after a big hit. They just took care of business while the ball was in play. Way different and much better game back then.
Jim Marshall is playing in his 200th straight games, that sent chills down my spine, why he's not in the HOF? There should be a trophy named after him, True Iron Man.
This was not only the greatest Vikings defense of all time but the greatest ever. Only 4 times in the last 71 years has a defense given up less than 1 TD per game, Those defenses were the 69,70,71 and 73 VIKINGS. No defense has ever given up less points or yards over an 8 year stretch than the 69-76 Vikings.

I was blessed with the opportunity to watch most of these games! Yes it would have been nice to get a ring or two.... or four. Being one of the finest defenses EVER is nothing to be ashamed of.
This Vikings defense was one of the bests all time. It was especially terrifying in their home field in blistering cold temperatures. Too bad they have a closed roof stadium now. It actually takes away an element of their home field advantage.
They could be the greatest team that ever took the field love my Minnesota Vikings, this is coming from a guy 61 years old live my whole life in Ohio die hard Viking fan believe it or not there's a lot of us, they just couldn't win the big one, I'm not superstitious sometimes I wonder if they are cursed.
For my money this is the greatest defense in NFL history I know they lost those four super bowls but that's a luck of the draw thing Go back and look at the numbers from 68 to 78 who would you think was better the steel curtain or the purple gang it's the purple gang by a wide margin statistically they were just the most dominant defense you could ever see

Makes me appreciate my 'Purple People Eaters' autographed Viking helmet all the more.
This defensive line was featured as a "Jeopardy!" clue.
Amazing that with a defense this dominant they could never finish the season with a ring.
