103 Aundrae Allison kickoff return Sunday vs. Detroit
101 Lance Rentzel kickoff return Nov. 14, 1965 vs. Baltimore
99 Eddie Payton kickoff return Sept. 14, 1981 vs. Oakland

That's the 3rd time I've witnessed history at a Vikings game this season.
3 NFL records and now 1 Vikings all-time record (in numerous categories!)

Very cool.

We haven't had a cornerback take an interception from endzone to endzone yet. Hey Antoine Winfield, hey Cedric Griffin, you have a chance to make history

Surprised there were no long returns for the great D of the 70's.

There was. It was just returned the wrong way.
:P

Cool! The Vikings is the only team to have a kickoff return, punt return, and inception for touchdowns in the same game, I don't think that will be broken for a very long time!

I thought of big Jim, but I think that was in the 60's. Love it when he tosses the ball in the stands.

It was in 1964, but Marshall was part of that great D of the 70's as well. Marshall played for the vikings for 19 seasons, 1961-1979.


I don't think you will ever see a D-lineman have that long of a career with the Vikings ever again.
