Halftime Lightning Round
As expected, Brett Favre broke Dan Marino’s all-time TD pass record, doing it in the first quarter on a slant to Greg Jennings (after Favre saw the Vikings in blitz-mode and checked to the play). Hilariously, Favre completely ignored the taped Dan Marino congratulatory message that played on the scoreboard, using the time instead to kiss his wife then head to the bench and look at the play pictures.
Winfield wanted Driver. So far, Driver has 3 catches for 36 yards. The Vikings were in zone for at least one of the catches, and Driver got extra yards after Chad Greenway missed the tackle. On another play Winfield grabbed Driver immediately after the catch and body-slammed him.
Favre’s 197 first-half yards makes it look like the pass D has been awful, but honestly, it could’ve been a lot worse. The Packers have been completely unable to run.
Kelly Holcomb has missed some more potential deep passes.
Adrian Peterson has 108 yards at the half. He is totally gashing the Packer defense. However, Brad Childress elected to keep him out on a Viking possession following a shank by the Packers’ punter. The Vikings were able to drive it down close thanks to one good pass from Holcomb to Wade, but had to settle for a field goal. Peterson did not touch the ball once on this possession. This is why we lose, you see. Because Brad Childress is a retard.
