Tarkenton thought the defender deliberately tried to trip him.   He admitted he was mistaken and apologized to the Patriot later.

Dunno, that defender took a swipe at Tark long after he was in the endzone.

Yep, Fran thought that Bolton deliberately tripped him. One of my favorite Viking memories courtesy of my favorite Viking. Another is Joe Kapp freight training Jim Houston in the '69 NFL Championship game.

Tark was a SMALL QB. Slight of frame. Very little muscle density at all. But he was feisty, man.
