You're right... More like a 5 game wonder. Tough to compete with Artose Pinner

Well, it was self proclaimed. That has to be worth something.

Lol When you put it like this. It looks like a even bigger bust than we were aware of.

Hahaha I was going to use this one but you beat me to it..... still one of my favorite moments as a young vikings fan.

His only TD from his 25 receptions in his 2 years in Mn.

20/53, 190 yards as Vikes gave an 0-6 Giants team their first win of season. Amazingly, Freeman actually played worse than those stats indicate, missing receivers by incredible margins, some short, but mostly long. I seem to recall a sideline fade that went into the stands. It was truly an amazing thing to have seen.

He had a -11.3 QBR .... I remember that game like it was yesterday.

Larry Brune - DB



CFL player that played one year in the NFL with the Vikings in 1980.

11/2/1980

2 INT for 69 yard vs Redskins which were his only NFL int.

[PurpleFloyd]

I don't know how to post a picture.

Chester Taylor 95 yard TD run against Seattle. After that run the Vikes broke that game wide open. Taylor rushed for like 170 yards that day.

At the time he set the record for the longest play from scrimmage, but I don't think the record stood for very long ( can't remember who broke it).

Bernard Berrian had a 99 yard reception.

Chester is not a one hit wonder.

Glad you brought him up. BB was going to be my nominee based on that single play.

I still remember the threads in the Old Dawn about how we needed to get him because of his 4500 yard or whatever season and how " Pro Bowl caliber 25 YO franchise QBs just never hit the open market"

Classic Rube take.

Defensive end Randy Holloway holds the Vikings single game sack record with 5 tallied against the Atlanta Falcons in 1984. He totaled 6.5 sacks that year.

I remember I was so amped for that game. In classic rube fashion I was enthralled by the idea of getting a young veteran qb with a big arm because of how rarely they become available. Turns out he was available for a good reason.

Versus the mighty Bears in the last game of the year in 2014 at TCF Bank

11 tackles, three assists and a pass breakup.

I was there.

I witnessed the dominance in a game that meant everything to these two teams.

ONTERRIO WASN'T THAT OBSCURE I REMEMBER HIM!!

never heard of him but wow that is some game.

[Browner Hands]

I think it was in 77 when running back Sammy Johnson Had like 75 yards and a touchdown in a win against the Packers.
He had several power runs that got first downs when the Vikes were trying to kill the clock. All the post game talk was about how the Purple had found "the next Bill Brown"!
I don't believe he totaled 75 yards in his next 5 games combined.

[Angry Waters]

Terry LeCount 10-11-81 at San Diego
6 catches 120 yards 2 td/ 1 rush 15 yards
Caught what would have been the game tying 43yard TD but the XP was missed. He than recovered onside kick that lead to game winning kick. SD was a real good team at the time. He had one other 100 yard game in a blowout loss to 49ers.

Obi-Wan: Well done! The leader in the clubhouse, so far. Maybe because I can remember the name--barely. I was born in '73 so it's right about '80 when the Vikes "started" for me.

[salamander]

We should probably add this guy because in 10 years he'll deserve to be here. (Might be a 2 game wonder though)

Two Vikings first round picks in Holloway and Mark Mullaney trying to chase Terry Bradshaw down. Randy Holloway looked for a while in college like he would go #1 overall, or at least in the top 5. A few years later when we took another Pitt player with the 4th overall, Chris Doleman, and tried him at linebacker it looked like we had another dud. But Floyd Peters moved DOleman to DE and made him a HOF player. (I do wonder if Doleman doesnt spend 3 out of his last 4 seasons in SF with 38 sacks if he makes it to the HOF playing his whole career in Minnesota and Atlanta).

He was also a camp/preseason hero. Like Tyler Thigpen and Jason Carter. I think he had two pick-6s in one game one year.
