NFL: Vikings 38, Rams 10: Favre leads Vikings to 5-0 start


By JOHN MARSHALL
AP Sports Writer

ST. LOUIS — Brett Favre threw for 232 yards and a touchdown a day after his 40th birthday, leading the undefeated Minnesota Vikings to a 38-10 rout over the hapless and helpless Rams on Sunday.

Spry and efficient, Favre showed no signs of a letdown after beating the Packers, his former team, last week, dodging defenders and winging passes in every direction to give Minnesota its first 5-0 start in six years.
Jared Allen returned one of his two fumble recoveries 52 yards for a touchdown and Adrian Peterson rumbled in for a pair of touchdowns, helping the Vikings to their 400th win (400-322-9).
St. Louis (0-5) wore throwback uniforms from 1999, a nod to the team’s only Super Bowl victory. The Rams looked nothing like the Greatest Show on Earth, bumbling their way to four turnovers and an NFL-worst 15th straight loss.
