Vikings slice up the Patriots
The Minnesota Vikings were on fire as they burned the New England Patriots, 37-14, Sunday in the Metrodome.
The Vikings were without their two top running backs, Robert Smith & Leroy Hoard, so the offensive responsibility fell on QB Brad Johnson, and he delivered. He threw for 308 yards on 20 of 28 passing with 3 TDs. That equates to a 143.2 QB Rating.
The Vikings jumped out early as Johnson hit TE Andrew Glover for a 37-yard TD pass. Then later in the 1st quarter, Johnson connected with Jake Reed on a 12-yard touchdown. After a Moe Williams TD run, Johnson hit Reed again for a 6-yard touchdown and the Vikings took a 31-0 lead at halftime and this game was over. Reed caught 7 passes for 117 yards and the 2 TDs.
The Patriots have been hammered by the NFC Central the past two weeks. The Packers beat the Patriots 27-3 last Monday Night and have been outscored 64-17 the past two Sundays. For a team that was in last year’s Super Bowl, the Patriots’ season seems on the brink.
Patriot QB Drew Bledsoe threw for 232 yards and 2 TDs but was also picked off. The Patriots only managed 57 yards on the ground and Bledsoe was sacked 4 times.
The Vikings (4-5) will try to keep their momentum going as they host the lowly Bears, while the Patriots (6-3) travel to Buffalo to take on the Bills. Despite the two devastating losses, the Patriots are still atop the AFC East with the NY Jets.

Packers spank the Patriots in Super Bowl rematch
The NFL learned that last year’s Super Bowl was not a fluke as the Green Bay Packers dominated the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football, 27-3, to stay undefeated in the 1997 season. Two-time MVP Brett Favre is making his case for his third consecutive as he scorched the Patriots for 295 yards and 3 TDs in the victory.
Packers’ WR Robert Brooks tore his ACL a year ago and tonight he proved that he is all the way back as he had a career night. Brooks caught 8 passes from Favre for 220 yards and 3 TDs. Brooks caught TD passes of 40, 25 and an 80-yard bomb in the 3rd quarter to put the game out of reach.
The Packers’ offense rolled up 388 total yards, but it was the Packers’ defense that dominated the potent Patriots’ offense. The Packers held the Pats to 170 total yards including just 28 yards on the ground. Patriots’ QB Drew Bledsoe threw for just 157 yards and was intercepted twice.
The Packers (8-0) will have a huge divisional matchup next Sunday Night at Lambeau Field as they face the Detroit Lions (6-2) and Barry Sanders. The Patriots (6-2) will try to shake this beating off and will travel to the H.H.H. Metrodome to take on the Vikings.
