Vikings and Packers Set to Battle Sunday

Posted by Matt Loede on September 29th, 2007 filed in News

The storied rivalry between the Vikings and Packers will have another chapter this weekend.  Brett Favre and company will be in the Metrodome on Sunday to face the Purple.  The Packers are on a hot streak, winning their first three games and waiting for Favre to break a quarterback record.  Favre tied Dan Marino for the all-time leader in touchdown passes last Sunday, with 421.  The Vikings are struggling with a 1-and-2 record.  Injured quarterback Tarvaris Jackson looks doubtful for Sunday’s game, despite getting more practice time yesterday.  Team officials say running back Chester Taylor, who has been out with a strained oblique muscle, will likely play against the Packers.
