Yes

I'll try to give as little information as possible for this game...

Single-game Franchise records set in this game:
Team A, Most TD passes by a player
Team B, Most points allowed

During the game, a DE from Team A sacked the QB for Team B. The DE played against Jim Harbaugh, the QB played against Art Donovan.

Wow, this is a tricky one. At first I thought the players involved in the sack might be Sonny Jurgensen and Too Tall Jones in a game from 1974... but that's not it.

Lions 45 Vikings 14 penultimate week, '78. Al Baker sacking Tarkenton. Danielson 5 TD passes.

Correct!

In this particular game, in the 2nd quarter, back-to-back TDs were scored by two different linemen. A player on the losing team, who helped rally his team a bit in the 4th quarter, previously in his career played against Bobby Bell - both on opposite sides of the ball, both as starters. A player on the winning team of this game would go on to play against Randy Moss, both on opposite sides of the ball, both as starters.

The Vikings did allow 52 to the Bears in 1961. Great question though! The Donovan/Harbaugh zinger made it interesting.

Took me a while to nail this one down. It's the Redskins-Vikings game of 1984. Joe Jacoby and Daryl Grant were the two linemen who scored. Archie Manning once faced Bobby Bell and Daryl Green once faced Randy Moss. Good one!

Got one.... (it may be easy)
In this game the losing team’s starting RB would set his team’s record for rushing yards in a game. The winning team’s QB would later in his career play for the losing team, and lead that team to a league championship.
