For many a Viking fan today, the answer is clear: Brett Favre.
The Vikes got the ball on their own 20 with only 1:29 left in the game and down by 4 and with no timeouts left. I know I wasn't the only one who was pessimistic about their chances. To be polite, the words "Vikings" and "great clock management" have not been used together in years. But Favre led them down the field and the drive ended with .02 left on a play that will be talked about around here for a long time to come:
Most of the focus is on Favre, but that was a hell of catch by Greg Lewis also.In fact, the entire offense deserves credit for that final drive. It will be Favre who gets the most praise for it though, and I think that's right. Without him I don't think it would have happened.
I've been a Favre skeptic and pretty critical about why and how he joined the team so late in the preseason, but he just shut me up right there. For this week.
