THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS, WHO'S HISTORY STARTED
WITH THE FRANCHISE OF DULUTH'S ESKIMOS
BROUGHT THAT LEGACY BACK TO MINNESOTA
AND DEALT THE VIKINGS A NEAR-FATAL BLOW
 
FOR A PERIOD OF TIME IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS
MINNESOTA'S FUTURE WAS IN THEIR OWN HANDS
THEN THEY LOST TO THE REDSKINS SUNDAY NIGHT
TO THE DISAPPOINTMENT OF ALL OF THEIR FANS

THIS WEEK THEY HAVE TO FACE DENVERS BRONCOS
A TEAM THAT'S COLLAPSED RIGHT DOWN ITS HEART
THEY CAN'T STOP THE RUN WHICH SUITS THE VIKES
AS TAYLOR AND PETERSON WILL TEAR THEM APART

IT'S WHEN JACKSON PUTS THE BALL IN THE AIR
THAT VIKINGS FANS WILL CATCH THEIR BREATH
FOR MINNESOTA'S PASSING GAME HAS NOT IMPRESSED
AND CAN BEST BE DESCRIBED AS A MESS

JAY CUTLER IS BECOMING A GOOD YOUNG QUARTERBACK
BUT DENVERS RECEIVERS GIVE HIS PATIENCE A TEST
THE BACKS ARE SOLID BUT NOT OUTSTANDING
THOUGH THEIR PRODUCTION HAS BEEN SPOTTY AT BEST

THE VIKINGS WILL BE WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD
HOPING AND PRAYING FOR HELP FROM THE 'SKINS
BUT COACH CHILDRESS MUST KEEP THEM FOCUSED
FOR NOTHING WILL HELP THEM IF THEY DON'T WIN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE PACKERS WERE READY FOR THE COLD AND SNOW
BUT COULDN'T OVERCOME THE LAKE MICHIGAN WIND
WHICH LET A BEARS TEAM THAT'S NOT VERY GOOD
PUSH THEM AROUND AND PICK UP THE WIN

THIS WEEK WHEN THE PACKERS WELCOME DETROIT
IT'S GOING TO AGAIN BE COLD AND SNOWING
THE BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LAST WEEK AND THIS
WILL BE THE FORCE WITH WHICH THE WIND IS BLOWING

IN A WAY THE LOSS WILL SERVE GREEN BAY WELL
GIVING THE COACH EXCUSES TO DO SOME BUTT-CHEWING
KEEPING THE PLAYERS UP ON THEIR TOES
AND MAKING THEM PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT THEY'RE DOING

DETROIT'S A TEAM THAT CAN PLAY PRETTY WELL
IF ANY SORT OF BREAKS MANAGE TO GO THEIR WAY
ALTHOUGH INJURY HAS DECIMATED THE OFFENIVE TEAM
THAT DEFENSE ALWAYS COMES READY TO PLAY                             
                                                                                                 
THE GREEN BAY PACKERS HAVE WON THE DIVISION CROWN           
AND IS REGARDED AS THE NUMBER TWO SEED
THOSE POOR LIONS WILL BECOME THE WHIPPING BOY                    
AS GREEN BAY GETS THE WINNING MOMENTUM THEY NEED             
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~            

TO HAVE EVEN A SLIGHT HOPE OF MAKING THE PLAYOFFS
THE VIKES MUST AVOID BLOWING OFF THEIR OWN TOES
WHILE THE LIONS WILL PROVIDE WIN NUMBER THIRTEEN
AS INTO THE POSTSEASON BYE THE PACKERS TEAM GOES
