Bobby Moore/Ahmad Rashad was drafted as a RB by the Cards, swapped to Buffalo, had a brief strecth with expansion Seattle then swapped to the Vikings for reserve DT Bob Lurtsema. This was the first of two trades between Bud Grant's Vikings and his former defensive asst. Jack Patera of the Seahawks. The second: Vikings swapped DE Carl Eller for DT Steve Niehaus, the first-ever Seahawks college draft pick.

@txkid1 Not many people know this but Ahmad Rashad played for the St. Louis Cardinals under the name Bobby Moore.

Kramer just would not let his team lose that day. His finest hour and one of great QB performances in Viking history.

Yes, but even more so the Bobby Bryant interception.

I love the voice of Charlie Jones.... these were the days of NBC with the AFC and CBS with the NFC. I loved all of this back then even the funky music they played going to commercials.
