Vikings Rally Past Redskins, 30-17
Minneapolis -- For the second week in a row, the Minnesota Vikings struggled on offense, scoring only 6 points through three quarters. Trailing 17-6, early in the 4th quarter, Minnesota reeled off 24 unanswered points to power past the Washington Redskins 30-17.
The first half was a battle of field goals. Washington had the opportunity to score on their first possession, but Curt Knight hooked a 25-yard field goal attempt. It was Fred Cox who put Minnesota on top when he booted a 33-yard field goal to make it 3-0 with 4:21 left to play in the first half. With under a minute to play in the second quarter, Mike Bass intercepted a Gary Cuozzo pass and returned it to the Vikings' 31. On the final play of the first half, Knight kicked a 38-yard field goal to knot the score 3-3 at the intermission.
Defenses continued to dominate for most of the third period. The teams traded punts until Cox kicked a 31-yard field goal with 3:35 to play to give Minnesota the lead again, 6-3. The Redskins used a big play on the first play from scrimmage following the kickoff to take their first lead of the game. Running back Larry Brown broke free and galloped 76-yards for a touchdown to make it 10-6, Washington. Then on their next possession, the 'Skins drove 66 yards in five plays and took a 17-6 lead early in the final period on a three-yard TD run by Charlie Harraway.
The Minnesota offense then found some big play magic of their own. Starting at their own 20, the Vikes marched to the Washington 46. From there, Cuozzo dropped back and delivered a scoring bomb to John Henderson to cut into the Redskins' lead to 17-13. The Vikings' defense then stepped up, forcing a pair of fumbles and intercepting a Sonny Jurgensen pass which the Vikings newly awakened offense converted into a pair of touchdowns and a field goal to complete their 24-0 run in the final period.
