Strong Start for the Minnesota Vikings
Written by Stu Speal on November 15, 2009 – 6:16 pm -The Minnesota Vikings are one of the favorites in the NFC to represent the conference in the Super Bowl. This is even truer now that Brett Favre is the Vikings quarterback.
All that season to be a distant memory because the Vikings are off to a fast start with Favre playing very well. If Favre can stay healthy for all 16 regular season games and the playoffs the Vikings have a great chance at becoming Super Bowl champions.
Through two weeks of the NFL season, the Vikings are really looking good. Of course, one could argue that their two wins both came against weak teams. Even so, they have a chemistry of champions already.
In week one, the Vikings defeated the Browns in Cleveland by a score of 34-20, and in week two, the team bested the Detroit Lions in Detroit by a 27-13 score.
With the NFC North being the competitive division that it is – winning the NFC North won’t be a cake walk. The Chicago Bears are much improved from a season ago despite the loss of Brian Urlacher and the Green Bay Packers will give the Vikings a challenge all season long.
Adrian Peterson looks like the best running back in the NFL, and more importantly, Brett Favre is playing efficient football at the quarterback position. Jared Allen’s also stepping it up and looks like the best defensive end in the league.
More than efficient, in fact. Favre has completed 37 of 48 passes (77.1 percent), and has thrown 3 TDs without throwing a single interception through the first two weeks of football. This gives Favre a QB rating of 110.2.
Anything less then a Super Bowl appearance for the Vikings would be considered a disappointment – Favre isn’t a young man anymore but his sole reason to comeback and play was to win another Super Bowl.
