The Minnesota Vikings meet the Miami Dolphins from the Orange Bowl in Miami.

Miami relies on the passing of Bob Griese to Paul Warfield, a strong running game with Jim Kiick, Larry Csonka and Mercury Morris, and a small but quick defensive corps as the Dolphins attempt another crack at the Super Bowl win that eluded them last year against Dallas.
