PLAYER NEWS
Favre, Brett (QB)
Favre was 20 of 29 for season-high 344 yards against the Lions on Sunday in a 27-10 victory.
Like a fine wine, Favre seems to get better with age. The gunslinger turned in his third 300-yard effort and has 17 TDs and just 3 INTs, making him a strong candidate for league MVP honors. Other QBs may get more attention, but Favre is still an elite player in this league and is deserving of more publicity for turning around the Vikings.

Peterson, Adrian (RB)
Peterson rushed for 133 yards and two touchdowns Sunday in a 27-10 win over Detroit.
Peterson's 917 yards put him second in the NFL to Tennessee RB Chris Johnson, who has an astounding 1,091.

Rice, Sidney (WR)
Rice had seven catches for 201 yards Sunday in a 27-10 win over Detroit.
Thanks to Brett Favre's arrival at quarterback and a summer spent working out with some of the game's greatest receivers, Rice has emerged as quite a threat for the surging Vikings. What he lacks in speed he has made up for with precision, position and poise. "It seems like each game he's getting better and better," said left tackle Bryant McKinnie. "Some of those catches are definitely Randy Moss-esque."

Harvin, Percy (WR)
Harvin had three catches for 53 yards Sunday in a 27-10 win over Detroit.
Harvin's production was limited with Brett Favre finding Sidney Rice open all day.

After nearly recording his first 1,000-yard season, Berrian has 27 catches for 299 yards and three touchdowns in eight games this year.
