Will the Cowboys fire Wade Phillips? The FOX NFL Sunday crew discusses the future in Dallas.
The No. 2-ranked Minnesota Vikings (12-4) continue to lead the No. 3-seeded Dallas Cowboys (12-5) 17-3 after three quarters of Sunday’s NFC Divisional Round playoff game at Minnesota.
With 4 minutes, 12 seconds left in the first period, Minnesota quarterback Brett Favre hit receiver Sidney Rice — who made a tough grab with a defender tightly covering him — down the right sideline for a 47-yard touchdown.
In the second quarter, Suisham nailed a 33-yarder to make it a 7-3 contest. However, the Vikings answered right back when the Favre connected again with Rice on a 16-yard pass play.
All the Vikings and their fans heard all week, whether it was from the national media or message board trolls or wherever else, was that the Dallas Cowboyswere the “hottest team in the NFC.”

Correction. . .they WERE the hottest team in the NFC. Until they ran into a significantly better football team. That team being the Minnesota Vikings.
“Vikings quarterback Brett Favre threw two touchdowns in the first half. He hit Sidney Rice on a gorgeous 47-yard throw that Cowboys safety Gerald Sensabaugh literally never saw coming.”
Leading up to the game, Cowboys‘ safety Gerald Sensabaugh . . whoever he is. . .declared that the only way the Cowboys could lose would be to beat themselves.

Favre led the Rockachaws to a 42-21 victory, giving St. Stanislaus a key Region 8-4A victory. SSC improved to 6-1 overall and 3-0 in regional play as Favre completed 40 of 48 passes for 506 yards and six touchdowns.
Secondly, Favre, the Rocks’ senior quarterback and nephew of Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre, took over the career touchdown passing record on the first three possessions of the first quarter.
Shortly after hearing the news in Minnesota, Brett Favre sent the Sun Herald a text to congratulate his nephew.
“It’s a good feeling,’’ Dylan Favre said. ‘’But like the other records, I was not excited as I thought I would be.
“The good thing is this put us in the driver’s seat for a district championship.’’

“The records speak from themselves,” SSC coach Forrest Williams said. “If you ask Dylan, he will tell you they were team records, and they were.’’
