Another NFC Championship loss for Favre
Brett Favre had a chance to lead the Minnesota Vikings to victory over the New Orleans Saints in a very exciting NFC Championship game. However, it was not meant to be. The big question for the Vikings is why didn’t Brett Favre just run ball to gain a couple more yards to give his kicker a better opportunity to kick the game winning field goal?
Instead, Favre tried to throw the ball across the field, which was intercepted by the Saints. Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings offense would never get a chance to see the ball again. After time expired in regulation, the Saints won the coin toss to get the ball first in overtime. After the Saints drove down the field, Saints kicker, Garrett Hartley, won the game on a 40-yard field goal, sending the New Orleans Saints to the Super Bowl.
Two years ago, Brett Favre had an opportunity to lead his old team, the Green Bay Packers to the Super Bowl, but like in this game, Favre threw an interception, which cost the Packers a victory. Now, for Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings, they have to look forward to next year. The big question for the Minnesota Vikings is will Favre return next season. Only time will tell, but this was a costly missed opportunity for the Favre and the Vikings. For the New Orleans Saints, they have a chance to win it all, the Super Bowl. But, standing in there way are the Colts. We shall see if Brees can lead his team to victory again, so stay tuned.
