Captain Jim Marshall and HOF’er Alan Page.   I think this game may have been  the 1973 NFC Championship.

#20 Viking Cornerback Bobby Bryant intercepting a pass late in the 4th quarter of the 1976 NFC championship game against the LA Rams. The receiver for the Rams was Ron Jessie. #43 Viking cornerback Nate Wright is watching. Rams QB Pat Hayden threw the pass. Bobby Bryant left his coverage and ran to the middle of the field to intercept the pass. Jessie had beaten Nate Wright so Bryant really saved the day. The Vikings were ahead 17-13 when Bryant made the interception and won the game 24-13.
