NFL Game of the Week

1973 NFC Divisional Playoff: Washington Redskins at Minnesota Vikings (9x9)

Air date: Dec 29, 1973

Saturday, December 22, 1973 in Bloomington, Minnesota was a comfortable 24 degrees for the start of the playoffs. Redskins' QB Billy Kilmer, hospitalized for much of the week, played admirably in this showdown with the more-balanced Vikings. But the Vikings were just that much tougher.
