NFL Notes

- Well that was an awful day for the Vikings in just about every way. They lose to the Cardinals, Favre throws two interceptions, Adrian Peterson is a nonfactor, and worst of all, E.J. Henderson suffers a gruesome, Joe Theissman-like injury. Ugh. Good thing is, the Vikes are still 10-2 and in position to have a first-round bye, and they bounced back from a similarly embarrassing loss to the Steelers. It's not bad if your only losses in a season are to the previous year's Super Bowl team.

- The Eagles won their third straight, crushing the Falcons in Atlanta, as Michael Vick had his first game of significance as an Eagle, rushing for one touchdown and throwing for another. The Eagles are now 8-4 and tied for first in the NFC East, meaning that they'll play the Cowboys in Week 17 and then, very possibly, play Dallas again the following week in the first round of the playoffs.

- You think Redskins fans were upset before? Then they almost beat the Saints, prior to missing a gimme field goal that would've iced the game and then lost in overtime, at home.
