Former Vikings quarterback Fran Tarkenton played in a lot of cold-weather games in old Met Stadium. The Minneapolis Star Tribune wanted to find out how he thinks the players will react to the frigid near-zero-degrees temperature that’s expected for Sunday’s wild-card game.
I visited with former Vikings quarterback Fran Tarkenton, who played in a lot of cold-weather games in old Met Stadium. I wanted to find out how he thinks the players will react to the frigid near-zero-degrees temperature that’s expected for Sunday’s wild-card playoff game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Vikings at TCF Bank Stadium.
