MVP!" showered upon him by an adoring Metrodome crowd, a smiling Brett Favre tipped his cap. A match that was at first considered bizarre and unthinkable has quickly turned into one for the story books during a season that is growing more magical by the minute for the 40-year-old quarterback and his Vikings. Favre completed a career-high 88 percent of his passes for 213 yards and four touchdowns, and Minnesota delivered its most complete performance of the season in a 35-9 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:49:05 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[American Hockey League]]></title><guid>http://wcco.com/wireapsportsmn/Toronto.Houston.San.2.1327885.html</guid><link>http://wcco.com/wireapsportsmn/Toronto.Houston.San.2.1327885.html</link><description><![CDATA[NOTE: Two points are awarded for a win, one point for an overtime or shootout loss.

With a mere 4 net yards allowed on 13 attempts in Sunday's 35-9 victory over Seattle, Minnesota's vaunted group of run-stuffers was back in form. The Vikings forced the Seahawks into an all-time rushing low and yielded the second-fewest yards in franchise history. They held the Detroit Lions to minus-3 yards rushing in a game in 2006, the first of three straight seasons as the NFL run defense leader. Entering Sunday, the Vikings were sixth in the league in that category this year. Still strong, but not good enough for them.]]></description><pubDate>Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:42:57 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Favre Nearly Perfect In Vikings' 35-9 Romp]]></title><guid>http://wcco.com/wireapsportsmn/Favre.completes.career.2.1327765.html</guid><link>http://wcco.com/wireapsportsmn/Favre.completes.career.2.1327765.html</link><description><![CDATA[The doubters lined up to chastise Brett Favre for ending a second retirement to play for the Minnesota Vikings. One by one, they have been silenced by the 40-year-old's incredible 10-game start in purple. The most efficient performance of his career may have removed the remaining doubt that he still had. Favre completed a career-high 88 percent of his passes for 213 yards and four touchdown passes and the Vikings delivered their most complete performance of the season in a 35-9 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.]]></description><pubDate>Sun, 22 Nov 2009 22:51:22 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[At A Glance]]></title><guid>http://wcco.com/wireapsportsmn/Mankato.Duluth.Denver.2.1327871.html</guid><link>http://wcco.com/wireapsportsmn/Mankato.Duluth.Denver.2.1327871.html</link><description><![CDATA[OVERALL RECORDS: Alaska-Anchorage 5-9-0, Colorado College 9-2-1, Denver 8-3-1, Michigan Tech 3-7-0, Minnesota 4-7-1, Minn.

Favre completed a career-best 88 percent of his passes for Minnesota against Seattle on Sunday. He was replaced by Tarvaris Jackson late in the third quarter with the Vikings leading comfortably.
