Image Gallery of Kenny Easley, Strong Safety 1981-1987

Scrambling sensation Fran Tarkenton thrilled fans and frustrated defenses with his scrambling - especially during the early years of his career with the Vikings. But defenses did manage to get to him from time to time. During his 18-year career he was sacked a total of 570 times. His 5207 Yards Lost is still a #1 All-Time Record in NFL Books.

Vikings Head Coach Bud Grant and Fran Tarkenton, his quarterback of the 1970s. Fran Tarkenton. Together they made 3 Super Bowl appearances in the 1970s. And, despite the loss in Super Bowl IV, Grant and his Vikings were technically the NFL Champions of 1969.

Fran Tarkenton has has to really reach to get the ball to running back Chuck Foreman here. In 1973 The Vikings was ranked #7 in Total Offense with 4231 yards gained. Foreman had a 4.4 YPA with 801 yards rushing and Tarkenton passed for 2113.

Kenny Stabler goes around the left side for a 1-yard score that puts the Raiders ahead with 23-20 with 10 seconds left in the Divisional Round of the 1976 AFC Playoffs. The Raiders would go all the way to Super Bowl XI victory.

The Steel Curtain Descends. Super Bowl IX was without a doubt, one of his less-distinguishing games. Against the dominating Steelers defense he threw 3 interceptions and finished with a woeful 14.1 QB rating. The Vikings offense didn't score a touchdown. Pictured above, Steelers All-Pro LC Greenwood applies pressure while another All-Pro, #59 linebacker Jack Ham covers up veteran runner Dave Osborn (#41).

Despite throwing for 300 yards, 2 touchdowns and setting a Super Bowl record with a 73.5% pass completion percentage it was Ken Anderson's 2 costly interceptions that proved to be the Bengals's undoing in the 26-21 loss to San Francisco in Super Bowl XVI. Here he goes down to linebacker Willie Harper in 1 of the 5 sacks the 49ers defense chalked up on the day.
