There never was any question that Vikings coach Brad Childress was going to get an extension on his contract, which had one more year remaining.

The Vikings have four Super Bowl appearances and 15 inductees into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

With every team either already at the midway point of the season or arriving there this weekend, here are your leaders for some individual awards, both real and manufactured: Most valuable player - Brett Favre, Minnesota.

The choice for the Vikings' most valuable player doesn't seem as clear-cut as it did earlier in the season.

Harvin caught the ball with three Packers defenders near him and outran everyone to the end zone for a 51-yard score.

The 58-yard reception set up Ryan Longwell 's 29-yard field goal, the eventual game-winner. "That was just a good play by Sidney," Favre said.

After last season, some in fantasy football circles thought that Vikings' second-year receiver Sidney Rice was a bust.

Fitzpatrick threw two touchdown passes as the Bengals won 21-19. The Jaguars might see him again Nov.

When Round 1 of the Minnesota-Green Bay border series went to Minnesota on Oct. 5 the Vikings had the luxury of lining up with all 22 of their preferred starters.

Rumor has it that printed on the bottom of the Vikings ' postgame Gatorade bottles was: "Open other end." If Sunday's game were an SAT test to determine college eligibility, the Vikings would have to redshirt next week.

Vikings receiver Bernard Berrian missed the entire second half of Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers with an apparent left hamstring injury.

Three times the Minnesota Vikings were ready to take the lead and possibly put away the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Vikings are 6-0, and Favre is on pace to finish with the best quarterback rating of his career.

Greg Lewis burst onto the Vikings scene with all the subtlety of a sonic boom. His first public appearance, after sitting idle for several weeks, sent tremors through the state.

After jumping to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter and holding a 27-10 lead early in the fourth, the Vikings eked out a 33-31 victory over the Baltimore Ravens when former training-camp kicker Steven Hauschka sent a 44-yard field-goal attempt wide left at the Metrodome.

Bill Buckner let the ball by him in the 1986 World Series, Steve Bartman interfered during the 2003 NLCS, Scott Norwood missed the field goal to win Super Bowl XXV, Chris Webber called timeout in the 1993 NCAA Championship game, and Barry Bonds took steroids and single-handedly put a blemish on the most heralded record of all time.

Last update: October 19, 2009 - 10:15 AM We have a ritual when it comes to big field goals from opposing teams: wait to see which spot on the field it is coming on, watch the kicker line up, visualize them missing a specific way and then hope that it happens .
