The Oakland Raiders will host the Minnesota Vikings in a Super Bowl XI re-match Sunday, November 15 at O.co Coliseum in Oakland. The Raiders will also face the Vikings at TCF Bank Stadium on the campus of the University of Minnesota in the preseason for the second straight year.
My earliest memories of professional football and understanding that there was a championship start with Super Bowl XI. I may have only been six years old at the time, but Hall of Fame cornerback Willie Brown’s iconic 75-yard interception return for a touchdown is something I’ll never forget.
The Vikings, under head coach Bud Grant, were perennial playoff contenders in the 1970s.
