Hard to believe Vikings only played 8 times on TG. The one I remember most (OK, after the Moss game) was the game in '88 described below by Daily Norseman. It was the most dominant defensive performance I'd ever seen.
Minnesota didn’t have to wait long for their next Thanksgiving appearance, as they were back again the next year, this time taking on the Lions again. The Lions probably wished that the Vikings had stayed at home, though. Two touchdown runs by Alfred Anderson, three Chuck Nelson field goals, and a suffocating performance by the Vikings’ defense led to another shutout, this time by a score of 23-0 at the Silverdome. How dominant was Minnesota’s defense? For the entire game, Detroit had three first downs and sixty. . .that’s six-zero. . .yards of offense. |
