The Vikings were able to pull it together and defeat the 49ers today. After a blocked field-goal return for a TD in the final seconds of the first half, the Vikings were able to come back, with the help of Brett Favre, to pull off the W in the final seconds. Favre finished 24 for 47 with 301 yards, the most passing yards in a game since 2005. It was also the most pass attempts Favre has made since November 11th, 2007 when he beat the Vikings playing for the Packers.
The Vikings dominated most of the first half and had a 10-7 lead right before the end of the half when Clements returned a blocked field-goal attmept 57 yards for a touchdown.
The Vikings were not in good shape when they remained 4 points behind with 12 seconds remaining. However, Favre came in and did what he does best, he made the play when it counted. A 32 yard touchdown pass was thrown to Greg Lewis who made a miraculous catch in the back of the endzone while Favre watched from his stomach after getting hit. The TD was enough to put the Vikings ahead with 2 seconds remaining and got them the win. A fantastic matchup and an amazing finish for the Vikings who go to 3-0.
