Foreman's four scores crush Cards


The Minnesota Vikings' Chuck Foreman put on the kind of show that made him one of the NFL's most complete backs of the 70's in Week 8 of the 1977 NFL Replay.

Foreman took a flat pass 30 yards on the game's first play as a sign of things to come all day as he led the Vikes to a 28-14 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.

Foreman scored all four Minnesota touchdowns on runs of 5, 3, 6 and 15 yards. He carried the ball 22 times on the day for 85 yards. He also caught 5 passes for 74 yards as the Vikings improved to 5-3 in their quest to win the NFC Central.
