Photo shows #24 carrying the football and running down the sidelines in front of the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings players all look disgusted. Large crowd in the background in the bleachers watching the game. From exhibition label: "SUPER BOWL XI, January 9, 1977--The Raiders met the Minnesota Vikings in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena following the 1976 season. Oakland handed Minnesota its fourth Super Bowl loss, 32-14. Raider cornerback Willie Brown, above, sails down the sideling on a 75-yard interception return as the demoralized Vikes look on. Clarence Davis (left) and Fred Biletnikoff share the victorious moment. Davis rushed for 137 yards, his best day as a pro, and Biletnikoff was named Most Valuable Player, catching four passes for 79 yards and setting up scores with each reception. In the post season, John Madden was named Coach of the Year and Al Davis Executive of the Year."
