The question I would be asking if I were a Vikings fan is what is the motivation now?

Beating the Packers senseless in Minnesota. Check.

Beating the Packers in Green Bay on Lambeau Field and rubbing it in to Packer's management. Check.

Sure, Favre would love to win a Superbowl, but I guarantee that victory at Lambeau was the high point of his comeback. Favre will try and downplay it, but unless he is no longer human that victory came with a high amount of satisfaction.

Unfortunately for the Vikings, victories like this can alter a person's play down the stretch.

Favre knows he is playing the role of hired gun in Minnesota. So, Minnesota fans need to hope that he was motivated by more than just beating his old team.

This is only week eight and as we've seen when he was with the Jets just last season, the wheels can fall off really fast in this league.
