Despite a wonderful resurgence by the Vikings offense in the second half, their poor play in the first half was too much for them to overcome in the end.

The Vikings bounced back very impressively against the Cincinnati Bengals, after that awful Arizona game.

In a game for the ages, and perhaps the one and only game that Brett Favre will ever play in Lambeau Field not as a Packer, was a victory for our Vikings. The first time back, will only happen once, and Favre has it, and the Vikings now hold a not only a 2 and a half game lead, but have swept the Packers this season. Also, Jared Allen now has 7.5 sacks against the Packers in the two games they've...

The Rices were nothing short of amazing on Sunday, as both made game changing plays down the stretch. Luckily, our own Sidney Rice would have the last laugh, with a 63 yard reception late in the game. Rice's catch would prove to be the game clinching play, as the Ravens Hauschka couldn't connect on a 44 yard attempt with 2 seconds to go. Learn more about your ad choices.
