Jan. 4, 2003. That was the night former Atlanta Falcons’ quarterback Michael Vick made his NFL playoff debut. His mission was to take down the heavily favored Green Bay Packers, led by the “legendary” Brett Favre. Also facing Vick was the Packers’ 13-0 record in home playoff games since 1933.

The Minnesota Vikings are 7-1, and after this weekend’s results, they’re clearly in the driver’s seat in the NFC North. So, the question is how’d they get there?

Nobody believes that Sage Rosenfels or Tarvaris Jackson would be sitting at 7-1, but Brett Favre isn’t the only reason why...

In Brett Favre’s second comeback news conference, he stated playing for the Minnesota Vikings was not about revenge. Only Favre himself knows if the statement was true or not. Still, the Vikings 30-23 win in Minnesota in week four made the rematch in Green Bay that much bigger. Minnesota had not swept the Packers since 2005, and Green Bay could show the home fans they made the right choice in Aaron Rodgers. In Favre’s first return to Lambeau...
