Maybe the Vikings were jealous of the Cowboys’ recent success. Minnesota became the second team of the season to fire its coach, cutting ties with Brad Childress on Monday.
Dallas has won two straight since firing Wade Phillips and Minnesota hopes interim coach Leslie Frazier can spark some life back into the struggling squad.
But at 3-7 and with playoff dreams long gone, the Brett Favre Saga will continue.
