The Minnesota Vikings are headed to the NFC Championship game. It’s exactly what everybody was hoping for the day Brad Childress jumped in his vehicle and personally picked Brett Favre up at the airport back in August.
The 40 year old QB was at his best against the Cowboys, tossing four touchdown passes without a turnover as the Vikes manhandled Dallas 34-3. Brett hit them deep, short and everywhere else as Sidney Rice hauled in three of the scoring passes tying an NFL playoff record.
The Minnesota defense put together the type performance they are capable on any weekend as they held Dallas to a field goal, the fewest points they’ve ever allowed in a playoff game. Ray Edwards recorded three sacks while the Vikes hounded Tony Romo with six total as well as two forced fumbles and an interception. When left tackle Flozell Adams went down with a knee injury, Jared Allen and company turned up the heat.
For any Dallas fans who wanted to scream at the Minnesota bench like Keith Brooking did when Favre tossed his fourth TD pass with 1:55 to play....Get a life. This is professional football, not Pee Wee. If you didn’t like it Cowboys, you should have stopped them. They had a chance all day and didn’t do it.
Even former Dallas coach Jimmy Johnson told everyone to back off the Vikings. Payback may be a bitch some day, but Favre and the Vikings are headed to New Orleans to play the Saints for a shot at the Super Bowl. Do you think they care right now?
