Ok I'm gonna give this a shot. The team was the Vikings, at Metropolitan Stadium. The year was 1979 Holder Vince Ferragamo maybe?? Kicker Frank Corral.

[ramsbruce]

GC is right about the colliseum it wasnt at the Met, but I know the team and the year is right.

[AvengerRam]

GC got most of it! RB got the kicker.


..."Rams setting up for the field goal that would win them the NFC west division and beat Minnesota here today in overtime at the Collesium......Cromwell sets and Corral lines up.....he will be kicking from East to west uprights..it'll be about a twenty yard kick...the line sets....Corral signals.....there's the snap....Cromwell places it...NO, it's a fake !!!!....Cromwell races for the southwest corner...TOUCHDOWN RAMS TOUCHDOWN RAMS!!!!!!! RAMS WIN 27 - 21 IN OT !!!!

Cromwell is being mobbed in the back of the endzone by teammates, WOW what a finish..The Rams Win the NFC West...This one is history, Rams beat Minnesota and are poised for the playoffs !!!!
