The World Champion Miami Dolphins travel to Minneapolis to face a resurgent Minnesota Vikings in a nationally televised preseason showdown. Miami, undefeated with 23 games in exhibition play, relies on Bob Griese but battles injuries to Larry Csonka and Mercury Morris as Minnesota, led by Fran Tarkenton and rookie Chuck Foreman, seeks its third preseason win.
