Brett Favre completed 24-of-46 passes for 301 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Week 3 against the 49ers.

Favre was mediocre for most of the afternoon, but led the Vikings on a game-winning 80-yard drive with 90 seconds and zero timeouts left, capping it with a scrambling 32-yard touchdown strike to Greg Lewis as the Metrodome exploded. He attempted 46 passes after throwing a total of 48 times in his first two games and finally tried some deep balls, which is especially interesting with a Monday night matchup against Green Bay next week.

Greg Lewis' only catch in his Vikings debut was a game-winning 32-yard touchdown with two seconds left in Week 3 against the 49ers.

Amazing. Brett Favre will get all the credit, of course, but Lewis made an absolutely spectacular leaping, feet-dragging grab at the back of the end zone to give Minnesota a dramatic come-from-behind victory.

Brett Favre's numbers look good and his performance on the game-winning drive adds to his legend, but he was just 19-of-37 for 228 yards before the final 90 seconds. That works out to 6.1 yards per throw. Tarvaris Jackson's career average is 6.6 yards per throw. Just saying.
