It seemed that Brett Favre’s best time has gone and the Minnesota Vikings have lost the power to keep a winning streak. Starting the season 6-0, they were firstly beaten by the Pittsburgh Steelers, then after a four-game streak, they lost the second game of the season to the Arizona Cardinals. As fans began to be optimistic again after the Vikings won last week’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, they were disappointed again this week as their beloved team lost the third game of the season, being beaten by the Carolina Panthers.
Steve Smith caught the go-ahead touchdown pass and his long catch and run set up the clinching score and the Panthers used a ferocious defense to stifle Favre, Adrian Peterson and the Vikings in a 26-7 victory. 40-year-old Favre was not the best quarterback on the field any more, instead Matt Moore, a rookie quarterback in Panthers jersey starting for the third game as replacement to injured Jake Delhomme, took the honor by throwing for a career-high 299 yards and three touchdown passes.
Smith caught nine passes for 157 yards and keyed Carolina’s 20-point fourth quarter, and Jonathan Steward added 109 yards rushing and a TD on 25 carries.
