The NFC East-leading Eagles are now Michael Vick's team, and the former incarcerated star has a chance to give Reid his sixth division title since taking over in 1999 when the Minnesota Vikings make a stop at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday night. Vick and the Eagles are coming off an improbable road win over the New York Giants, scoring 28 points in less than eight minutes to go in the game for a 38-31 victory and a chance to wrap up th |

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) - Leslie Frazier counted Brett Favre out once before. He's not about to do it again.

A week ago, the Vikings listed Favre as ``out'' for the game against Chicago with a sprained right shoulder. He was surprisingly upgraded to questionable the day of the game and ended up starting against |

Staff came out to tend to Favre, who walked off the field under his own power before Minnesota punted the ball away.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Brett Favre talked his way back into the starting lineup, hoping a snowy Monday night game would be just the setting he needed. The 41-year-old got the hometown crowd roaring when he led the Minnesota Vikings to a touchdown on the opening drive, and all the ingredients were there for one last memorable Monday with Favre. ``I knew it was the last home game,'' Favre said afterward. ``This also may seem kind of crazy, but I was looking forward to playing in a blizzard.''
