Offensive Line Reasons Vikings Earned Super Bowl Berth
The Minnesota Vikings credit their largely unsung offensive line for clinching a Super Bowl spot. Joe Kapp praised the line after the 27-7 win over the Cleveland Browns, noting 222 rushing yards and a key TD while the defense, led by the front four, held the Browns to 97 rushing yards. The line features free agents Tingelhoff and Vellone, 20th round pick Sunde, Grady Alderman, and bonus pick Yary.
