Ce surnom est une référence à la chanson populaire (en) (1958), à l'efficacité de la défense et la couleur de leurs uniformes. Cette ligne était composée des defensive tackles Alan Page et (en) et des defensive ends Carl Eller et Jim Marshall. (fr)
- パープル・ピープル・イーターズ（Purple People Eaters）はNFLのミネソタ・バイキングスの1960年代末から1970年代末にかけて4度スーパーボウルに出場した当時のディフェンスラインユニットのニックネーム。由来はミネソタ・バイキングスのチームカラーの紫（パープル）との歌である「Purple People Eater」から来ている。 1969年にバイキングスのディフェンスは前年にボルチモア・コルツが作った失点最少記録144点を更新する133点しか相手チームに許さなかった。この年チームはNFLで35年ぶりとなる12連勝を記録した。1971年にアラン・ペイジが守備選手としてシーズンMVPに選ばれた。彼以外に守備選手でMVPに選ばれたのは1986年のローレンス・テイラーのみである。1968年から1977年までの10シーズンでチームは9回地区優勝を果たし、4回スーパーボウルに出場した。 (ja)
- Purple People Eaters were the defensive line of the Minnesota Vikings from the late 1960s to the late 1970s. The term is a reference to a popular song from 1958, the efficiency of the defense, and the color of their uniforms. The motto of the Purple People Eaters was "Meet at the quarterback." Larsen was replaced in 1974 by Doug Sutherland. Eller and Page were inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Many fans, players, coaches and sportswriters argue that Jim Marshall should be in the Hall of Fame as well. (en)
- Purple People Eaters (talvolta Purple Gang) è stato un termine coniato per identificare la defensive line dei Minnesota Vikings di fine anni sessanta - fine anni settanta. Il termine, mutuato da Purple People Eater, celebre canzone del 1958 cantata da Sheb Wooley, era dovuto alla particolare abilità dei difensori nel placcare l'attacco avversario (in particolar modo erano specializzati nel mettere a segno sack sui quarterback) ed al colore delle divise dei Vikings. Il loro motto era Meet at the quarterback, (it. Ci vediamo dal quarterback), teso a sottolineare la loro peculiarità di "cacciatori di sack". (it)

* Defensive tackle Alan Page, 9 Pro Bowl selections (1968–1976), NFL MVP (1971), Pro Football Hall of Fame
* Defensive end Carl Eller, 6 Pro Bowl selections (1968–1971, 1973–1974), Pro Football Hall of Fame
* Defensive end Jim Marshall, 2 Pro Bowl selections (1968–1969)
* Defensive tackle Gary Larsen, 2 Pro Bowl selections (1969–1970) Larsen was replaced in 1974 by Doug Sutherland. Marshall said that the players disliked the name "Purple People Eaters" and called themselves "The Purple Gang", but "we've got to ride with it because it's our handle". The group was a major factor in the post-season success of the Vikings from the late 1960s through the 1970s. The Purple People Eaters were one of the most identifiable front fours in National Football League history, with the "Fearsome Foursome" of the Los Angeles Rams during the 1960s and early 1970s, the "Steel Curtain" of the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 1970s, the "New York Sack Exchange" of the New York Jets during the 1980s, and the 1985 Chicago Bears "Monsters of the Midway". Eller and Page were inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Many fans, players, coaches and sportswriters argue that Jim Marshall should be in the Hall of Fame as well. (en)

Il loro motto era Meet at the quarterback, (it. Ci vediamo dal quarterback), teso a sottolineare la loro peculiarità di "cacciatori di sack". I Purple People Eaters, fattore determinante nei playoff disputati dai Vikings in quel lasso di tempo, furono uno dei front four nello schema difensivo 4-3 più forti ed importanti della loro epoca e, soprattutto assieme ai Fearsome Foursome dei Los Angeles Rams degli anni sessanta - inizio anni settanta e alla Steel Curtain dei Pittsburgh Steelers degli anni settanta, sono tutt'oggi annoverati da appassionati ed esperti del settore tra i migliori di sempre nella storia della NFL. Nel 2010 NFL.com inserì il termine al 5º posto tra i migliori 10 soprannomi nella storia del football, mentre nel 2001 ESPN.com lo aveva inserito al 2º posto tra i migliori soprannomi di tutti i tempi per un reparto sportivo, primo nell'ambito della palla ovale e secondo solo al Phi Slamma Jamma della squadra di basket dell'Università di Houston della prima metà degli anni ottanta. La formazione originaria era composta da:
* #88 Alan Page, defensive tackle 1967-1978 (MVP della NFL (1971), 9 partecipazioni al Pro Bowl (dal 1968 al 1976), 9 volte All-Pro (dal 1968 al 1976), Hall of Famer, Formazione ideale della NFL degli anni 1970)
* #81 Carl Eller, defensive end 1964-1978 (6 partecipazioni al Pro Bowl (1968-71, 1973, 1974), 7 volte All-Pro (dal 1967 al 1973), Hall of Famer, Formazione ideale della NFL degli anni 1970)
* #70 Jim Marshall, defensive end 1961-1979 (2 partecipazioni al Pro Bowl (1968-69), 3 volte All-Pro (1964, 1968-69))
* #77 Gary Larsen, defensive tackle 1965-1974 (2 partecipazioni al Pro Bowl (1969-70))[a] Note: [a] Larsen verrà in seguito sostituito a metà anni settanta da . I Purple People Eaters: da sinistra, Jim Marshall, Gary Larsen, Carl Eller, Alan Page (it)
