Vikings- Packers: Brett Favre Wins in Lambeau | NFL Player Rankings

After all the hoopla and fan fair before this big contest, the Vikings and Packers faced off between the lines. Many thought that the Packers would give the Vikings a strong game as they were playing at home this time, and they had their safeties back and healthy.

In the end, Brett Favre and the Vikings were too much as Favre threw four touchdown passes and beat his old team for the second time this year.

Favre Has a Great Game

I didn’t think Favre would play a flawless game against his old team in Lambeau this week. Favre has always been an emotional player, and many times he comes into big games and has a tough time early on.

However, Favre didn’t have a slow start and was strong for the entire game. At the end of the day, Favre was 17 of 28 for 244 yards passing and four touchdown passes.

The Vikings now have a commanding lead in the NFC Central and should run away with the division and wrap it up early in December.

Favre truly makes this team better as he is the final piece of the puzzle for this strong team.

Look for the Vikings to be a major player in the post season this year.

Aaron Rodgers Not Good Enough

Part of Aaron Rodgers problems against the Vikings (and every week) is that he isn’t getting the greatest pass protection and is under lots of pressure.

While the offensive line has struggled this season, Rodgers hasn’t helped them much as he likes to hold onto the football.

Because he holds onto the ball a long time he will always take more sacks and hits by opposing defenses. Rodgers isn’t the only quarterback in football that plays this way as Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger does the exact same thing.

Because of this Rodgers will make more plays down the field, but he will also be an injury risk.

Greg Jennings Finally Produces

It’s been awhile since fantasy owners could feel good about the way Greg Jennings has performed on the football field. At times it almost seems that Jennings has been a forgotten target in this high octane offense.

Today Jennings had eight receptions for over 80 yards and a touchdown catch. Hopefully, Jennings can have a strong second half of the fantasy season and help fantasy owners to the playoffs.
