Although Brett Favre is going to be made into a hero this whole week, it is hard to not to get caught up in the excitement that play generated. Not that it wouldn't have been amazing if anyone else would have done it, but because it was Favre it gets a few extra explanation marks. And not only that, but he played well for most of the game, while the running game never showed much consistency. The threat of the run obviously helps him every time Adrian Peterson is on the field, but still 300+ yards and 2 touchdowns should not be taken likely. Also, these were the games he was brought in to win, not the games where the Defense and running game dominate, Tavaris Jackson can take care of those, but the close slug fests
Still the Vikings play the Ravens, Steelers, and Packers twice in the next 5 weeks. If they can survive this stretch of their schedule with at least a share of the division lead if will be hard to pick against them not making the playoffs.....Unless we see Brett Favre do a repeat of last season, which will make this week 3 win fade from memory rather quickly.
