This is a game of utmost importance for both teams, and Peterson and Hawk will be right in the center of the action. Minnesota plays only two teams with losing records the rest of the season. Green Bay has five dates with losing teams. Favre is instilling less fear in opponents this year, putting even more of the burden on Peterson.

It's been a hair over six months since the shocking trade of Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins, in what was the NFL's version of trading Chipper Jones to the Mets, or Kobe Bryant to the Kings.

Friday new$ and note$ | National Football Post
Sunday night in Green Bay will be the third contest between Brett Favre as a rival Viking against the team for which he was the face of the franchise for 15 years.

Keith Brooking says violence inevitable part of NFL - Peter King - SI.com
In conversations with several players this week, I got the strong impression that we're not going to see a radically different football game Sunday afternoon. Not at all. What may change is a decrease in headhunting, which is a good thing. The T.J. Ward hit on Jordan Shipley in the Cincinnati-Cleveland game three weeks ago -- despite Browns defensive coordinator Rob Ryan calling it textbook -- was an egregious shot at Shipley's head. The Brandon Meriweather hit on Todd Heap last Sunday, helmet to helmet, was a disgrace. I'd be surprised if we saw a hit like those on Sunday.
NFL Power Rankings for Week 7 has Jets rising to No. 2 - Don Banks - SI.com
Highlighted by Miami's overtime upset at Green Bay, another six road teams won last Sunday, and I've always thought road wins were a pretty good indicator of a division's strength. So far this season, the road team has won 39 of 90 games, or 43.3 percent of the time. That's up just a tick from 2009's total road winning percentage (110-146, 43.0), and if the trend holds, would represent the fourth consecutive year that number rose.
