This was a great week for football by just having Brett Favre return to Green Bay as a Viking. The first meeting between the two teams this year had Favre the triumphant hero and Rodgers a target for the Vikings defensive line. Nothing really changed for round two as the Vikings would beat the Packers again, 38-26. Favre threw for 4 TDs while Rodgers threw for only 3 TDs. However Rodgers was sacked 6 times while Favre wasn't sacked at all. Looks like the Vikings have a solid hand on the NFC North. Meanwhile the Broncos finally lost a game and it wasn't really close. The Ravens beat them 30-7 scoring 24 second half points on the Broncos. Flacco played well throwing accurate passes going 20/25, One TD Pass and no INTs. The Ravens were just better.
Other stories in Week 8 include the Saints still undefeated at 7-0 by beating the Falcons 35-27. Matt Ryan was just off his game tonight throwing 19/42, One TD pass and 3 INTs, one of which was returned for a TD. Meanwhile Brees was 25/33, 308 Yards, 2 TD passes and only one INT. They and the Vikings seem to be the favorites in the NFC right now. The Jets lose to the Dolphins again, this time 30-25. Despite a better performance from Mark Sanchez, Ted Ginn was the star returning two kick returns for TDs, one for over a 100 yards. The Dolphins are not the best team but they have proven that you must take them seriously. While the Yankees and the Phillies were playing the Series, The New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles played and the Eagles just brought down the Giants. Three TDs thrown by McNabb while the running game got a couple more on the ground. Meanwhile, Eli Manning didn't look good going 20/39, One TD pass and 2 INTs. Nice Week 8 overall.
P.S. The Niners lost to the Colts 18-14. Not a bad game for Alex Smith and I'm impressed the Niners kept it close with the Colts. Still, this is the third loss in a row for the Niners.
