Warner carved up the Viking’s clearly confused secondary and Brett Favre was harried on nearly every play, uncharacteristically underachieving on third down conversions.
Really, it’s just an excuse to post this rad Vikings button from their inaugural season. I forget from whence I grabbed that image, sorry.
