Vikings’ blog Daily Norseman saw a new Brett Favre tonight in Minnesota’s 30-23 win and he looked a heckuva lot like the old Brett Favre. Thanks in large part to his teammates.
Daily Norseman: Against His Former Team, Favre Delivers
What made the difference for Favre in this one? In addition to the fact that he looked years younger, the protection he received was considerably better than in previous weeks. Favre had been taking a beating in the first few games, but he was not sacked once in this game. The importance of that cannot be overstated. Favre also leaned on his receiving corps earlier and more often than he did in the first three games of the season, as Bernard Berrian and Sidney Rice both turned in huge games. We’ve seen Favre manage the game — but in this one, we saw him play aggressive football. And the results were outstanding. The old gunslinger still has plenty of life in that right arm.
