Packers Beat Down Vikings 34-0
Brett Favre threw three touchdown passes and became the second quarterback in NFL history to throw for over 60,000 yards in his career, as the Packer beat the Minnesota Vikings 34-0.
According to the Green Bay Press Gazette, the shutout was the first for the Packers in the 94-game series between the two teams dating back to 1961. The Packers are now 8-1 and are tied with the Dallas Cowboys for the best record in the NFC. The Packers running game is finally coming around, according to the report. Running back Ryan Grant ran for 119 yards on 25 carries.
The AP story on ESPN.com reports that the Vikings rookie running back Adrian Peterson injured his knee in the third quarter of the game. After breaking the NFL single game rushing yards record last week, Peterson was held to 45 yards on 11 carries. Peterson is having an MRI on Monday to examine his knee.
