Vikings offense finally came alive. After averaging only 9.5 points per game to start the season, the Vikings scored 24 points to beat the Lions by 10.
Brett Favre still couldn’t find his old form, throwing another two interceptions to go with only one touchdown pass. For the season Favre has thrown two touchdowns and six interceptions. The NFL‘s career leader in both touchdowns and interceptions has continued to pile on his stats – in both categories – this season.
The Vikings found most of their offense in the form of Adrian Peterson’s legs. He ran for 160 yards on 23 carries and had two rushing touchdowns. Peterson also had 5 catches for 30 yards, accounting for 190 of the Vikings 384 yards. The NFL scores week 3 coverage includes a nice game between the Atlanta Falcons and the New Orleans Saints that took overtime to decide. That is also a game that is going to haunt New Orleans, because they were just seconds from moving to 3-0, but will instead fall to a three-way tie in the NFC South with Atlanta and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Some might be surprised by the San Diego vs. Seattle game, where the Seahawks again pulled a great upset. Seattle was in control of the game nearly all night, and has Leon Washington to thank for two kickoffs that he brought back for touchdowns from 99 and 101 yards respectively.
Pittsburgh also proved once again that they don’t need Ben Roethlisberger in order to beat teams, and they crushed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by a score of 38-13. That was about how close the Dallas vs. Houston game was as well, as the Cowboys handed the Titans their first loss of the season, and in the process won their first game of the year. Dallas won 27-13, and with it could have created some momentum to carry through their bye week.
