  • Favre TD with 2 seconds left lifts Vikes (AP)

    San Francisco 49ers' tight end Vernon Davis(notes), top, catches a 20-yard touchdown from quarterback Shaun Hill(notes) as Minnesota Vikings' safety Madieu Williams(notes) (20) defends during the second half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Sept. 27, 2009, in Minneapolis. Minnesota won 27-24.

    The end was as good as the Vikings could have imagined: Brett Favre zipped a pass to a little-used reserve wide receiver in the back of the end zone in the final seconds for a classic Favre finish. Greg Lewis leaped for a 32-yard touchdown catch with 2 seconds left while a flattened Favre watched from his stomach, and the Vikings stunned the San Francisco 49ers 27-24 on Sunday to stay unbeaten.
