The Green Bay Packers won their fourth straight game Sunday and pulled into a tie for first place in the NFC North, beating the Minnesota Vikings in a 34-31 thriller at Lambeau Field. Both teams now have records of 5-4.

Ryan Longwell kicked a 33-yard field goal as time expired to provide the winning margin after the Vikings had battled back from a 14-point fourth quarter deficit.

Brett Favre through four touchdown passes for the 18th time in his career, hitting Javon Walker, Tony Fisher, Bubba Franks, and William Henderson on scoring throws. Favre completed 20 of 29 passes on the day, good for 236 yards and no interceptions.

Ahman Green ran for 145 yards on 21 carries on the afternoon, including a 35-yard run in the second quarter.

Nine different Packers caught at least one pass Sunday, led by Walker's three catches for 74 yards. Walker's touchdown was a 50-yard grab to open the scoring.

Defensively, the Packers sacked Daunte Culpepper four times .

AND the Panthers actually pulled out a win (only their second of the year!) and my 2 favorite drivers came in 1st and 3rd in the race today. It's been a much better weekend, sports-wise, than most have been lately ... :-)

Saw the closing moments of 'your' game as bonus coverage when ours ended and was pulling like crazy for the Pack!
