Vikings vs New York Jets in 1975 game at Metropolitan Stadium. It appears #12 QB Joe Namath has fumbled. #81 for the Vikings is DE Carl Eller and #69 is DT Doug Sutherland. #50 for the Jets is Center Wayne Mulligan. #75 for the New York Jets is Tackle Winston Hill. The Vikings won the game 29-21

Carl Eller against the Rams in Los Angeles. I think this was a 1974 game. I see #10 Fran Tarkenton in the background. #54 is Linebacker Fred McNeil. #84 for the Vikings is Tight End Steve Craig. Coach Bud Grant can be seen through Carls left arm. #84 for the Rams is wide receiver Jack Snow

#29 Karl Kassulke, #70 Jim Marshall, #81 Carl Eller, trying to tackle Chicago Bear #41 Brian Piccolo. I think that is #77 Gary Larson behind Carl. I am going to guess the year is 1968.

Paul Dickson, Jim Marshall, Gary Larson, Carl Eller, and Ed Sharockman waiting to go back in the game. The boys look hot...especially Carl. If I could guess, this is a game in 1967 or 1968.
