Minnesota was aided by three poorly timed turnovers from the Rams.
Favre was good on 18-of-24 passes for 232 yards with one interception for the Vikings, who are off to their first 5-0 start in six years. Peterson carried 15 times for 69 yards.
Quarterback Donovan McNabb marked his return to the lineup by tossing three touchdowns to power Philadelphia to a 33-14 triumph over winless Tampa Bay.
McNabb had missed the past two games with a cracked rib suffered in the Eagles’ season-opening victory over Carolina. Philadelphia had the week off last week allowing McNabb to get better.
McNabb completed 16 of 21 throws, including touchdowns of 51 and 40 yards to rookie Jeremy Maclin. Brian Westbrook had a rushing touchdown for the Eagles who have won two in a row.
“I feel pretty good,” McNabb said. “It’s always good to get that first hit and shake it off. The offensive line did an excellent job today.”
The victory is the 100th regular-season win in the coaching career of Philadelphia’s Andy Reid.
Seattle’s Matt Hasselbeck also returned from a similar rib injury to toss four touchdowns and lead the Seahawks to a 41-0 thrashing of Jacksonville.
