QB leads another comeback victory for Minnesota. Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) In Favre they trust.
Brett Favre's 58-yard completion to Sidney Rice setup Ryan Longwell's fourth field goal, and Baltimore's Steve Hauschka missed a 44-yard field goal at the final whistle, allowing the Minnesota Vikings to remain undefeated with a 33-31 victory on Sunday.
Favre threw for 278 yards and three touchdowns, but the Vikings (6-0) nearly blew this one when they let the Ravens erase a 17-point deficit with 10 minutes to play.
Joe Flacco threw for 385 yards and two touchdowns for the Ravens (3-3), who scored twice on drives that totaled just 56 seconds to take a 31-30 lead with 3:37 to play.
But Hauschka pushed his field goal wide left, giving the Ravens their third straight loss.
This was billed as the first true test of the season for the Vikings, who came in having beaten five teams with a combined record of 7-17. One of those victories was a Favre comeback for the ages, when he threw a TD to Greg Lewis in the closing seconds to beat the 49ers.
He had another big throw in that 40-year-old right arm on Sunday against the Ravens, the big play to Rice.
woudlnt that be the DEFENSE winning the game then , instead of favre? his lack of scoring a td in the final two minutes, left it wide open whcih shoud hav been a wide open 43 yard fg in a dome. i give the credit to their d for the last stop, not the "great one'. roll eyes
FAVRE rocks and the Packers will continue to suck - awwwwwww
Right. Favre did nothing. I enjoy the very objective opinionis by the very mature and knowledgeable respondents.
Not scoring a TD on the Vikes final drive wasn't Favre's fault. Rather it was Chilly being ultra conservative with the play calling - Favre didn't have an opportunity.
Know what you are talking about before you post.
Anyway - Vikings should have lost the game. They keep letting teams back into games that should have been lopsided wins. Not sure what Leslie Frazier is thinking...
No one is 'protected' with new...
Cornerback was given big contract...
Green Bay hikes prices up to $5...
Where will Peyton Manning end...
Velocity and throws to the left...

Favre did nothing! He sat on the sidelines as the Baltimore kicker missed a gimme.
Rename your title. It's pathetic.
