NFC – Dallas Cowboys vs Minnesota Vikings Preview

Fresh off four straight wins overall and their first playoff victory in 13 years, the Dallas Cowboys are rolling but the Vikings look to stop them.

The Minnesota Vikings haven’t taken the field in two weeks – and that may play right into the hands of their grizzled, 40-year-old quarterback.

Brett Favre and the Vikings will aim to use their first-round bye to their advantage Sunday when they host quarterback Tony Romo and the surging Cowboys in an NFC divisional playoff matchup.

After changing his mind about retirement for the second straight off-season, Favre showed he’s still among the game’s top quarterbacks while leading Minnesota to a 10-1 start. The Vikings then stumbled, losing three of their next four and bringing to mind Favre’s 2008, when he helped the New York Jets open 8-3 before wearing down late in the season and missing the playoffs after finishing 9-7.

This time, though, Favre concluded the regular season with a powerful statement, going 25 of 31 for 316 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions as the Vikings routed the New York Giants 44-7 to finish with a 12-4 record, the NFC’s second seed and a first-round bye.

Earning the second seed and home field for this round may benefit Minnesota greatly. The Vikings are 8-0 at the Metrodome this season, with the last five of those wins coming by 17 points or more. They’ve also won three straight home meetings with Dallas – including a 27-10 playoff victory Jan. 9, 2000 – since a 23-17 defeat Sept. 17, 1995.

If the Cowboys can’t overcome Favre, the Minnesota defensive front and that history, their current winning streak and status as a chic Super Bowl pick will be for naught. (Source)

Game Recap

Brett Favre threw four touchdown passes, and the Vikings’ defense put the clamps on the Dallas Cowboys in a 34-3 victory Sunday that sent Minnesota to the NFC title game.

Sidney Rice had six catches for 141 yards and three touchdowns and the Vikings sacked Tony Romo six times to earn a trip to New Orleans. The Vikings (13-4) will try for their first Super Bowl berth since 1977.

Romo’s troubles in big games resurfaced at the wrong time for the Cowboys (12-6). He completed 22 of 35 passes for 198 yards, but lost two of his three fumbles and threw an interception in the third quarter that put the game out of reach.

Ray Edwards had three sacks to help put the Vikings (13-4) in their first NFC title game since 2001. (Source)
