Paul Krause sets interception record


On December 2, 1979, Minnesota Vikings safety Paul Krause intercepted two passes in a game against the Los Angeles Rams.  This is the football from the first of those picks that day that allowed him to break the NFL mark for career interceptions previously shared with Hall of Famer Emlen Tunnell.
