BRETT FAVRE PROVED TO THE VIKINGS SUNDAY
THAT HE CAN DO THE THINGS IT TAKES
HE'LL HAND THE BALL TO ADRIAN PETERSON
AND NOT MAKE DISASTEROUS MISTAKES

WORKING WITH THAT VIKINGS' DEFENSE
THIS COMBINATION WILL BE HARD TO STOP
IN FACT IT SEEMS TO HALT THIS TEAM
YOU'D HAVE TO BE A TRAFFIC COP

THE PART OF THIS MACHINE THAT NEEDS TUNING
IS THE O-LINE NEEDS TO KEEP FAVRE ON HIS FEET
OR NO MATTER HOW WELL HE CAN READ A DEFENSE
REPEATED SACKINGS WILL LEAVE HIS SEASON INCOMPLETE

THIS SUNDAY THE VIKINGS ARE ON THE ROAD
FACING THE DETROIT LIONS TEAM THIS WEEK
A DIVISIONAL GAME THAT COULD BE FUN
IF NOT FOR THEIR EIGHTEEN GAME LOSING STREAK

LAST SUNDAY IN THE OPENER AGAINST THE SAINTS
THE LIONS FOUND THAT LOSING STREAK EXTENDED
DESPITE DETROIT'S BEST EFFORTS ON THE FIELD
NEW ORLEANS COULDN'T SEEM TO BE DEFENDED

BRETT WILL SET ANOTHER RECORD SUNDAY
WITH CONSECUTIVE START TWO-SEVENTY-ONE
WHILE ADRIAN PETERSON IS LOOKING AT THAT DEFENSE
AND PLANNING TO HAVE MORE THAN A LITTLE FUN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE BEARS CAME IN ON A MISSION
THAT CAME CLOSE TO BEING FULFILLED
AS WITH THE AID OF THE PACKERS O-LINE
AARON RODGERS WAS VERY NEARLY KILLED

FORTUNATELY THE GREEN BAY DEFENSIVE GROUP
BROUGHT IN A MISSION OF THEIR OWN
THEY KEPT JAY CUTLER UNDER PRESSURE
AND PICKED OFF FOUR BALLS HE HAD THROWN

BUT STILL THE GAME WAS NECK AND NECK
AND THE BEARS LED WITH A MINUTE LEFT
THEN RODGERS AND JENNINGS CONNECTED DEEP
ON A SCORING PASS AS DAZZLING AS IT WAS DEFT

CINNCINNATI'S BENGALS ARE COMING OFF A GAME
THAT SPOILED THEIR QUARTERBACK'S RETURN
AS THE BRONCOS SCORED ON A DEFLECTED PASS
THAT LEFT THE BENGALS DEFENSE BURNED

THE BENGALS ARE BETTER THAN THEY LOOKED
OR AT LEAST THEY SHOULD HOPE THEY ARE
THIS IS A TEAM WITH MANY GOOD PLAYERS
AND EVEN A FEW WHO ARE CONSIDERED STARS  
           
SO THE PACKERS CAN'T AFFORD TO BE COMPLACENT
THINKING THERE'LL BE NO CHALLENGE IN THIS GAME               
THEY JUST GOT BY THE CHICAGO BEARS                            
HOPEFULLY THIS WEEK WON'T BE THE SAM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                                                                                                    
THE LIONS SHOULD ONLY REPRESENT A SPEED BUMP
TO A VIKINGS TEAM THAT'S JUST A-ROLLIN'
WHILE THE PACKERS NEED TO MAKE A STATEMENT
AND NOT COME OUT WITH A WIN THAT APPEARS STOLEN
