Week 4 is over and Vikings are 4-0!!

All I can say is WOW! What a week of football. I must say, there were a couple I was surprised on but we will get to that in a moment. First, let's focus on Monday Night Football which pitted Green Bay at Minnesota.....

Brett Favre has now officially earned his #4, we will see about the purple in another week or two. He put on a good show tonight going against his former team and is now the only quarterback in history to say he has beaten every NFL team, not to mention he is going to be 40 this week. Favre went 24 of 31 passes for 271 yards, 3 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. Let's also not forget there were 0 sacks on Favre. Aaron Rodgers was simply pulverized this game, though he still managed to put up some decent numbers. Rodgers went 26 of 37 for 384 yards and 2 touchdowns. Rodgers had 2 interceptions and was sacked a whopping 8 times, 4.5 of those going to Mr. Jared Allen. The other thing that nailed the Packers were there penalties, they managed 7 for 57 yards while Minnesota held it at 2 for 10 yards. As for the rest of the stats and technicals I will let you read that on your own if you so desire. I think Minnesota really shined and was able to show why they are a top contender this year.

Dallas was an upset this week though it was a close game. I thought for sure they had it yet Denver pulled it off at the end. Of course the five sacks on Romo didn't help much. It seemed Denver's defense was able to keep the Cowboys scrambling for the majority of the game. Tennessee at Jacksonville was a surprise as well, I really thought I would see the Titans pull this one off and surely not get stuffed the way they did. David Garrard had a nice connection with Marcedes Lewis for 33 yards and a touchdown. Then there is the Ravens, well all I can say about that is if Clayton hadn't dropped the ball... well you know.

There are in's and out's to all the games that everyone can here on the Sport's Wraps and read on sports sites. This week was a good week for football and I think it is only going to get better. I congratulate Rick for leading the challenge at this time, but we have a lot of football to go..... Can't wait to see what happens next!
