Now you can relive the Vikings' memorable 1975 season with this guide that explores the entire year game by game, from the win over the 49ers in Week 1 through the shocking playoff loss to the Cowboys, as told in the original newspaper stories.

Minnesota was on a collision course with destiny for most of the '75 season. Winners of their first 10 games, the Vikings looked like a strong threat to match the '72 Dolphins' perfect-season achievement. While Minnesota ultimately fell short of perfection and the Super Bowl, there were many highlights along the way, including Fran Tarkenton shattering some of John Unitas' famed records, Chuck Foreman's incredible 22 touchdowns and another stifling effort by the legendary Purple People-Eaters defense.

All of the highs and lows from the exciting season are here. A full recap and box score from every game is included, so you can follow the exploits of Bud Grant's gang as it came one "Hail Mary" pass from a possible shot at Super Bowl glory.

As an added bonus, links to many video highlights are included to add more depth to the story of the 1975 Vikings. Whether you are a die-hard Vikings fan or an NFL history buff, you will enjoy this look back at the 1975 Minnesota Vikings.
