I'm looking to find Minnesota Vikings defensive stats, particularly tackle data from 1967 (Alan Page's rookie year) through 1978. Does anyone know where one could find that or if they've seen it or have some of it? I have noticed that in 1977 the Vikings began putting individual defensive stats insi...
