CLEVELAND (AP) - Brett Favre looked pleasing in purple. Adrian
Peterson always does.
The ageless quarterback threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to rookie
Percy Harvin in his debut with the Minnesota Vikings, and Peterson
scored three touchdowns in a 34-20 win over the Cleveland Browns on
Sunday.
Making his 270th consecutive start after a will-he-or-won't-he
flirtation that dominated NFL headlines this summer, the
39-year-old Favre showed he can still fire the football with
authority - and hasn't lost his boyish love for the game.
After hooking up with Harvin, Favre sprinted into the end zone
and tackled the young wide receiver who was just 4 years old when
his QB broke into the league with Green Bay.
Peterson scored on a pair of 1-yard plunges and capped his day
with an electrifying 64-yarder in the fourth quarter to make it
34-13.
