Marauding Vikings put Cowboys to the Sword

Defence was the order of the day and Brett Favre and most of Minnesota were grateful. Dallas couldn't live with them and the Cowboys were simply brushed aside as the Vikings set up the NFC Championship decider against the Saints, which will be played on Sunday.
The hapless Tony Romo spent most of the game 'dancing' with the Vikings offence, fumbling or turning over the ball to the opposition. His 40 year old opposite number, Brett Favre, was in contrast allowed to craft a crushing victory on home turf.
Brett Favre inflicted the kind of pain that you could would have expected him to lay down only in his prime. But his four scoring passes didn't tell the whole story. Favre completed 15 of 24 passes for a snip under 235 yards. For Romo it was a case of more attempts and less yardage.
Vikings' kicker Longwell added 4 points between the uprights.
The Vikings now visit the New Orleans Saints who made a point against the Cardinals in a 45-14 victory - reinforcing their top seed status. The winners of that game will have their ticket to the Superbowl.
