The Minnesota Vikings expectations for the 09' season went up dramatically with the potential of landing QB legend Brett Favre, which they did. It was a circus like atmosphere the entire off season with "Will he return? Won't he return?" and so on.
All that season to be a distant memory because the Vikings are off to a fast start with Favre playing very well. If Favre can stay healthy for all 16 regular season games and the playoffs the Vikings have a great chance at becoming Super Bowl champions.
Through two weeks of the NFL season, the Vikings are really looking good. Of course, one could argue that their two wins both came against weak teams. Even so, they have a chemistry of champions already.
In week one, the Vikings defeated the Browns in Cleveland by a score of 34-20, and in week two, the team bested the Detroit Lions in Detroit by a 27-13 score.
With the NFC North being the competitive division that it is - winning the NFC North won't be a cake walk. The Chicago Bears are much improved from a season ago despite the loss of Brian Urlacher and the Green Bay Packers will give the Vikings a challenge all season long.
Adrian Peterson looks like the best running back in the NFL, and more importantly, Brett Favre is playing efficient football at the quarterback position. Jared Allen's also stepping it up and looks like the best defensive end in the league.
Besides Favre and Adrian Peterson, another notable player is Jared Allen. If you're a QB, you don't want to play against this man!
The Minnesota Vikings hated Bret Favre but he can be their hero if he manages to help them win a Super Bowl come February. He's off to a very strong start and it doesn't seem like he's hated in Minnesota anymore. - 29967
