THE PATS PLAYED A TRICK ON THE VIKINGS TEAM
AND NEW ENGLAND FOUND IT QUITE A TREAT
THEY AVOIDED THE THINGS THE VIKES DEFEND BEST
AND AS A RESULT SENT THEM TO DEFEAT

INSTEAD OF TRYING TO RUN THE BALL
WHICH MANY TEAMS HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO
THE PATS SPREAD THE FIELD WITH FIVE RECEIVERS
AND DOWN THE FIELD TOM BRADY THREW

IT WORKED OUT VERY WELL FOR THEM
PROBABLY BETTER THAN EVEN THEY EXPECTED
AND IT SURELY RAISED SOME QUESTIONS
ABOUT WHY THE VIKES' 'D' WAS SO HIGHLY RESPECTED

THE 'NINERS ARE THE TEAM THE VIKES FACE NEXT
THEY'LL HAVE TORN MONDAY NIGHT'S FILM APART
BUT THE VIKES ARE NEARLY IN A 'MUST WIN' GAME
A LOSS WOULD BE A STAKE THROUGH THEIR HEARTS

FORTUNATELY FOR THE VIKES THE 'NINERS AREN'T GOOD
THEY DON'T HAVE THE PLAYERS FOR THE PATS' SCHEME
BUT WITH VIKES ARE FILLED WITH SELF-DOUBT AND ON THE ROAD
THE UPSET'S NOT AS UNLIKELY AS IT SEEMS

WHILE LUMBERING AROUND ON LAMBEAU'S SIDELINE
DENNY GREEN MAY HAVE REFLECTED ON THE DAYS
WHEN HE'D BRING THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS IN
AND USUALLY LOSE THE GAME TO GREEN BAY

WHILE THE TEAM WAS DIFFERENT THE OUTCOME WASN'T
AS THE PACKERS GROUND THE CARDINALS INTO MUSH
AND FOR ONCE IT WASN'T BRETT FAVRE'S ARM
BUT THE PACKERS' NEW-FOUND ABILITY TO RUSH

GREEN BAY STARTED THIS YEAR SLOWLY
MAKING FANS WONDER IF THEY'D EVER WIN
BUT WITH THIS TEAM BEGINNING TO PLAY TOGETHER
IT APPEARS THEY'RE REBORN ONCE AGAIN

THIS TO BUFFALO THE PACKERS WILL SHUFFLE
TO FACE A BILLS TEAM LABELED AS 'UNDERACHIEVERS'
WHILE THEIR RUNNING GAME HAS BEEN A STRENGTH
THERE'S NOT BEEN MUCH SCORING FROM THE WIDE RECEIVERS

THIS IS A GAME THAT WILL BE WON IN CLASSIC WAYS
AS THE PLAY OF THE LINES WILL TELL THE TALE
WHILE THE BILLS WILL BE TRYING TO UPSET THE PACK
ULTIMATELY THEY ARE GOING TO FAIL

THERE SHOULD BE NO EXCUSE FOR MINNESOTA
IF THE 'NINERS MANAGE TO PULL OFF THE UPSET
AND WHILE THE BILLS WILL PLAY THE PACKERS TOUGH
THEY'VE NOT SEEN GREEN BAY'S BEST GAME YET
