NFL on FOX: What’s next for Dallas?

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.

Minnesota kicker Ryan Longwell made a 33-yard field goal to put the score at 17-3 Vikings. Read full story here

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 Cowboys were the “hottest team in the NFC.”

Vikings 34 Dallas 3

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.”

When Lovie Smith went about assembling his first coaching staff in 2004, he pointed to offenses run by Mike Martz in St. Louis and Al Saunders in Kansas City and identified the attacking schemes from the Don Coryell coaching tree as his vision for the Bears.

Associated Press Video Highlights: Star quarterback Brett Favre sees limited action just days after coming out of retirement a second time to sign with Minnesota. See Video below

Camera flashes illuminated the Metrodome on each of Brett Favre’s eight plays for Minnesota. Captured on film? Only one completed pass.

Favre’s debut was a dud in terms of on-field action, a predictably brief preseason performance in the 17-13 victory by the Vikings on Friday over the Kansas City Chiefs preserved by a goal line stand by the third-stringers.

Cheered loudly by the same fans who used to loathe him when he played for Green Bay, Favre played two series and went 1 for 4 for a whopping 4 yards. He moved around all right and his passes had zip, just no direction.

Tarvaris Jackson, whose job was taken when Favre ended another retirement this week, was the more polished quarterback for Minnesota: 12 for 15 for 202 yards and two touchdowns.

‘Mentally Tired’ Favre Tells Packers his Playing Career is Over”

After flirting with retirement for years, Brett Favre means it this time. The Green Bay Packers quarterback quit Tuesday after a 17-season career in which he dazzled fans with his grit, heart and rocket of an arm.

“I know I can still play, but it’s like I told my wife, I’m just tired mentally. I’m just tired,” Favre, a three-time NFL MVP, told ESPN’s Chris Mortensen in a voice mail message.
