Brett Favre made a lot of big throws against the Vikings during his Packers career, but none looms larger in our memories than the one he made to Antonio Freeman to win a Monday night game in 2000.
Chris Dishman should’ve had the interception, but instead deflected the ball to Freeman who was sliding across the [...]

Having had a little less than 24 hours to digest yesterday’s game, I present my 10 Monday points:
1. Yes, that is why you bring in Brett Favre.  Because when he’s on your team you feel like you are never out of the game.  Even with only a few seconds left on the clock and a [...]

Brett Favre’s game-winning TD pass to Greg Lewis obviously became the talker after Sunday’s game, but there was another huge highlight reel play that deserves more looks:  Percy Harvin’s 101-yard kick-off return.  Not a lot of shifty moves from Percy but some blazing speed.  He is dangerous with the ball in his hands.

I honestly thought it had a chance to be overturned, not because of his feet, but because he bobbled it a little at first. But Greg Lewis made the catch, and the Vikings won a game they had no business winning.

Brett Favre’s magic works in purple too.
We may have begun doubting, after a near-interception by Dre Bly ended what seemed the Vikings‘ last gasp effort against the surprisingly frisky 49ers.
But the Vikings would get one more chance.  After stuffing the Niners’ offense, using up their time outs stopping the clock in the process, they handed [...]

For years, Vikings fans groaned every time Brett Favre threw a touchdown in the Metrodome.  Today the same fans cheered when Favre threw his first Dome TD as a Viking, a 30-yard strike to Sidney Rice off a blitz read.
They got to cheer some more when Favre led the team down the field in the [...]

Okay Vikings.  You beat the Browns on the road, with Brady Quinn looking pretty much terrible.  Then you beat the Lions on the road, with Matthew Stafford looking for all the world like a rookie quarterback.  Now you’re making your home debut, against a team that, like you, is 2-0.  The sports media are poised [...]

The Vikings haven’t had too many health issues to contend with so far this season, but they may have a few on Sunday against the 49ers.
The most troublesome situation concerns E.J. Henderson, whose injured shoulder may very well keep him from playing.  Rookie Jasper Brinkley would start if Henderson is unable to answer the bell.
Second [...]

Percy Harvin has been a major part of the Vikings‘ 2-0 start, scoring on a pair of touchdown passes from Brett Favre, and showing early signs of developing into a major third down and red zone threat.
Unfortunately, Percy has also shown, during his short Vikings tenure, that he is prone to illness.  He was late [...]

A shiver of panic went through Viking Nation Wednesday when it learned that Adrian Peterson had been listed on the injury report with a back issue and seen only limited action in practice.
On Thursday, AD put our fears to rest by saying the back issue was “not a big deal” and declaring that, “God willing” [...]
