BRETT FAVRE TIED THE TOUCHDOWN RECORD SUNDAY
BUT COULDN'T BREAK IT WHILE AT HOME
THERE IS HOWEVER A DELICIOUS IRONY
THAT HE'LL PROBABLY DO IT IN THE METRODOME

FOR SOME OF THE WORST GAMES BRETT HAS PLAYED
THROUGHOUT HIS LONG AND STORIED CAREER
HAVE OCCURRED IN THAT ACCURSED PLACE
WHERE GOOD TEAMS GO TO DISAPPEAR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE VIKES STUMBLED TO ANOTHER LOSS LAST WEEK
AS THE CHIEFS FOUND THE WAY TO DEFEAT 'EM
THEY DUG INTO LAST YEAR'S FILM
AND FOUND THE EASY WAY TO BEAT 'EM

THE MINNESOTA RUN DEFENSE WAS SO FIERCE
LARRY JOHNSON COULD HARDLY GAIN A YARD
AND EVEN WHEN IT LOOKED LIKE THERE WAS A HOLE
A VIKING FILLED IT AND HIT HIM HARD

SO HOW DID THE CHIEFS REACT TO THIS
WHEN THERE WAS JUST NOWHERE TO GO?
IN THE SECOND HALF THEY DROPPED BACK
AND LET THE QUARTERBACK LOOK DOWNFIELD AND THROW

WHILE IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE 'DANTE TO MOSS'
NONETHELESS IT PROVED EFFECTIVE
BECAUSE IT APPEARS THE VIKES' PASS DEFENSE
MIGHT BE JUST A BIT DEFECTIVE

THE VIKINGS' OFFENSE DID WHAT THEY DO BEST
WHICH IS GIVING YOUNG MISTER PETERSON THE BALL
HE RESPONDED BY RUNNING FOR A HUNDRED YARDS
AN EVEN SCORED ON A PERFECT CALL

WITH TARVARIUS JACKSON SITTING OUT
KELLY HOLCOMB WAS THE MAN IN CONTROL
AND MINNESOTA FANS HAD TRULY HIGH HOPES
THIS MIGHT PUT THE VIKINGS ON A ROLL

TOO BAD IT DIDN'T WORK OUT THAT WAY
MUCH TO COACH CHILDRESS' CHAGRIN
AS THE PASSING GAME FELL A BIT SHORT
OF PRODUCING A VIKINGS' WIN

THROW IN AN AGGRESSIVE K.C. DEFENSE
THEN ADD A COUPLE OF MINNESOTA COACHING GAFFES
AND IT'S NO WONDER THE VIKINGS CAME UNDONE
DURING THIS GAME'S SECOND HALF
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE CHARGERS CAME INTO LAMBEAU FIELD
BRINGING WITH THEM THE REIGNING MVP
AN AMAZINGLY TALENTED RUNNING BACK
KNOWN LEAGUE-WIDE AS 'L.T.'

THE GREEN BAY DEFENSE WATCHED HIM CLOSELY
THE FIRST TIME THE CHARGERS SNAPPED THE BALL
THEN THE PACKERS DEFENSE SWARMED ALL OVER HIM
AND PROVED THAT THEY COULD ANSWER THE CALL

WITH THE RUNNING GAME SOMEWHAT BOGGED DOWN
PHILLIP RIVERS PUT THE BALL IN THE AIR
AND EVERY TIME IT CAME BACK DOWN
ANTIONIO GATES WAS STANDING THERE

BUT THE CHARGERS NEVER QUITE GOT ON THE ROLL
THAT COULD HAVE SPELLED GREEN BAY'S DOOM
COURTESY OF THE PACKERS DEFENSE
THAT NEVER GAVE TOMLINSON RUNNING ROOM

MIKE McCARTHY CARRIED NO FALSE ILLUSIONS
AS HIS TEAM STEPPED OUT INTO THE AUTUMN SUN
THE GAME WOULD BE WON THROUGH THE AIR
FOR THIS PACKERS TEAM CAN'T RUN

THE CHARGERS' DEFENSE MUST HAVE HAD A CHUCKLE
AS THEY PLANNED TO PUT THE HURT ON NUMBER FOUR
BECAUSE AT TIMES GREEN BAY'S GUARDS AND TACKLES
HAVE RESEMBLED REVOLVING DOORS

BUT SOMEHOW THAT OFFENSIVE LINE RESPONDED
KEEPING THE CHARGERS OFF THEIR QUARTERBACK
AND BRETT CAME THROUGH BY FIRING DARTS
IN A PREDOMINANTLY AIRBORNE ATTACK

THREE TOUCHDOWN PASSES WERE TOSSED BY BRETT
WHILE THE CHARGERS DEFENSE WAS HELD AT BAY
A LATE INTERCEPTION EVEN SET UP A SCORING RUN
SHOWING THAT IT WAS THE PACKERS' DAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE VIKINGS TEAM IS HEADED FOR THEIR BYE WEEK
AFTER WHICH THEIR SCHEDULE GETS PRETTY TOUGH
AND GOING IN WITH A RECORD OF ONE AND THREE
ISN'T GOING TO BE GOOD ENOUGH

THOUGH NOBODY RUNS AGAINST THE VIKINGS
HOW CAN THIS TEAM CONTAIN GREEN BAY?
FOR THE PACKERS FREELY ADMIT THEY DON'T RUN WELL
AND WILL BE CONTENT TO PASS ALL DAY

MEANWHILE THERE SEEMS TO BE A SCORING DROUGHT
AFFLICTING THE OFFENSE OF THOSE VIKINGS
THOUGH THE OFFENSE HAS CAUGHT UP TO THE 'D' IN TOUCHDOWNS
THERE'S NOT A LOT GOING TO COACH CHILLY'S LIKING

SO FAR THE PACKERS DEFENSE HAS BEEN EXPOSED              
TO SOME PRETTY POTENT TEAMS THIS SEASON
IF THEY DON'T APPEAR TO TAKE THE VIKINGS SERIOUSLY
THAT MIGHT BE THE REASON
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CAN THE PACKERS GET THOUGH THIS GAME
WITH THEIR UNBEATEN STREAK INTACT?
AND IF THE VIKES DON'T LOOK MUCH IMPROVED
HOW WILL THE MINNESOTA CROWD REACT?

THE VIKINGS COACHES LOOK OUT OF TOUCH
OR MAYBE CHILDRESS IS JUST IN DENIAL
BUT THE PACKERS SHOULD WALK OUT WITH THE WIN
AND THE BEST START THEY'VE HAD IN A WHILE
