#OTD in #SteelersHistory 2014 we were lucky to have scheduled our annual adventure across the Atlantic to watch throwback #Steelers. We witnessed Ben pass for 522 yards and 6 touchdowns while he set a team record when completing 40 of 49 passes for 522 yards and a punt.

The Vikings are at 6 wins to open the season. The most any Viking team has ever achieved was winning their first 10 games in 1975. In that season, they lost 31-30 in WASH, when Fred Cox had a potential game winning FG of 54 yards blocked

Vikings at Lions Week 1961 - The first time Minnesota ever played the Detroit Lions. Detroit came in 8-3-1 against the 1st year Viking squad. The game was close, but how many of you remember the DET QB Jim Ninowski?

Vikings at Lions Week 1968 - You think he 2026 Viking offense is dull? Here is the 1968 squad - Joe Kapp throws just 10 times (completes 6, but 3 to the other team!). But the famed Purple People Eater defense holds DET to 131 yds and 6 points in the win.

NFL in Ballparks Wrigley Field, Chicago, Oct 16, 1955 - Defensive back Don Shula (#25) of Baltimore Colts has tight coverage on Bears end Harlon Hill (#81) as Chicago won 38-10. Speaking of tight, this photo shows how a football gridiron barely fits in a venue made for baseball

NFL in Ballparks Yankee Stadium, Bronx, Nov 24, 1963 - Just two days after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, the St Louis Cardinals beat NY Giants 24-17 in game (among others that day) that Pete Rozelle would later regret not cancelling as the country mourned

NFL in Ballparks Polo Grounds, NYC, Nov 18, 1934 - Colorization by @Dto716 of NY Giants fullback Ken Strong scoring on 4-yard TD run for an 7-0 lead over Chicago Bears, but Bears would come back for an 10-9 win. You can see path that runs from home plate to pitching mound
