Favre Etches Himself into Minnesota Lore
With one play--and one drive--Brett Favre has etched himself into Minnesota Vikings' lore.
With just over a minute to play in today's game, he led the Vikings to an imporbable game-winning drive.
Backed on their own 20-yard line, with no timeouts, Favre stepped up. Pass after pas, completion after completion, he took the Vikings to the 49ers 32-yard line with :12 to go.
Favre then scrambled in the pocket, and rocketed a pass to the back of the end zone to Greg Lewis! Touchdown!
Here's the play, with the NFL on FOX broadcasting team calling the game:
Lewis, who caught only one ball all afternoon, barely got two feet in bounds--and I mean, barely--to give the Vikings the edge.
Brett Favre threw for over 300 yards, threw 46 times, and came up big when he was needed.
Maybe that $25 million is starting to pay off.
Wow, incredible!
The Vikings are now 3-0 and are playing as good as football as anyone is in this league. Love it!
