Minnesota Vikings Legend Bill Brown Dies At 80
The Minnesota Vikings organization, its fans, and the greater American football community are all mourning the loss of legendary fullback Bill Brown, who has passed away over the weekend, as the National Post reports.
The thousands in attendance at U.S. Bank Stadium to watch the Vikings defeat the Lions by a score of 24-9 stood for a humbling moment prior to Week 9’s action, as they observed a collective moment of silence for Brown. NBC Sports reports that the beloved franchise figure — and father in law of former Vikings quarterback, Rich Gannon — died from health complications on Sunday morning, November 4. He was 80 years old.
