Vikings Defeat Packers 30-23, Move To 4-0


Very good game! Was really looking forward to this game more then any of the year. Not disappointed! And I haven't been a true footbal fan since the days of Walter Payton and the Fridge on the bears. Brett Favre was amazing. Bellow is some pics from the game that now makes the Minnesota Vikings 4-0. - Grimpuppy

You know the backdrop – QB Brett Favre, now with the Vikings, goes up against his former team of 16 years at Mall of America Field at the HHH Metrodome on Monday Night Football. And the action actually lived up to the hype, as the Vikings scored 4 TDs and added a safety to defeat the Green Bay Packers 30-23.

The game was a back-and-forth affair for the 1st half, but the Vikings were able to take a 21-14 lead into the locker room at halftime thanks to a 1-yard Adrian Peterson TD run with just 30 seconds to play in the 2nd quarter. Then early in the 2nd half, Favre lofted a pass down the left sideline for Bernard Berrian, who sped under the ball and hauled it in for a 31-yard score that put the Vikings up 28-14.

A sack of Aaron Rodgers in the endzone during the 4th quarter put the Vikings up 30-14 and then the Purple was able to hold off a late-charging Packers team at the end of the game to produce the winning 30-23 margin.

Favre was vintage Favre, going 24 of 31 for 271 yards and 3 TDs, with zero interceptions. Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress has described Favre as an “equal opportunity passer” and the QB was exactly that on Monday night, completing passes to 8 different players and a different player on each of his 3 scoring throws. - Read More On Vikings Official Website.
