<P> On October 5, 2009, the Vikings hosted the Green Bay Packers as Favre played his former team for the first time . With a 30--23 victory on Monday Night Football, the Vikings moved to a 4--0 record . Favre became the first quarterback in NFL history to defeat all 32 current teams as a starter . Over 21.8 million viewers tuned in to watch the game, beating the previous record for a cable television program set by a game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys in 2008 (18.6 million viewers). </P> <P> The Vikings beat the New York Giants, 44--7, in Week 17 to help the team clinch the second seed in the conference and a first round - bye with an Eagles loss later that same day . The Vikings ended the regular season with a 12--4 record, their best record since 2000 and the first 11 - plus win season since their record - setting 1998 campaign . The Vikings played the Dallas Cowboys in the divisional round on January 17, 2010, and won the game by a score of 34--3, advancing the Vikings to the NFC Championship game, the ninth in franchise history . This would also be the first NFC Championship game for the team since the 2000 season . Minnesota would travel to New Orleans the following week to face the top - seeded Saints in the first conference championship game held at the Superdome . Despite out - gaining the Saints on offense by nearly a twofold margin, the Vikings were severely hindered by five turnovers, including a Favre interception in the final minute of the fourth quarter in Saints territory . They were ousted in overtime, 31--28, as the Saints won the coin toss and kicked a 40 - yard field goal on the first possession of overtime . (Ironically, due in part to this outcome, during the subsequent off - season the NFL rules committee adjusted the overtime rules for the 2010 postseason, and in 2011 for both regular season and postseason games . The new rules state that unless the first possession of overtime ends in a touchdown or safety, both teams must have the opportunity to possess the ball . Under the new rules, the Vikings would have had an opportunity to possess the ball after the Saints kicked a field goal on the overtime's first possession in the NFC Championship). </P> <P> In the first week of the 2010 NFL regular season, the Vikings played the defending Super Bowl champions, the New Orleans Saints . The Vikings lost 14--9 . In Week 2, the Vikings played the Miami Dolphins and lost 14--10 . The Vikings defeated the Detroit Lions 24--10 in the third week of the season . After a week four bye - week, the Vikings received star wide receiver Randy Moss in a trade with the New England Patriots . Even with the addition of Moss, the Vikings lost to the New York Jets 29--20 in Week 5 . The Vikings won a crucial victory against another struggling team in the form of the Dallas Cowboys 24--21, but in Week 7 the Vikings lost to the arch - rival Green Bay Packers 28--24 . In Week 9, the Vikings played the Arizona Cardinals at home and won 27--24 in overtime, coming back from a 24--10 deficit in the final four minutes of regulation . Favre threw for a career - high 446 passing yards . The Vikings then went on to face the Chicago Bears, but were defeated, and then went on to be blown out 31--3 at home by the Packers the following game . Head coach Brad Childress was fired the following Monday . With Leslie Frazier filling in for the fired Childress, the Vikings won two games in a row . One against the Washington Redskins on the road, and a blowout win over the Buffalo Bills at home . </P> <P> After a winter storm dropped nearly 17 inches of snow in the Minneapolis / St Paul area the Saturday before the Vikings December 12 home game versus the New York Giants and 30 mph gusts drove snow removers off the dome's roof overnight, several panels were damaged as the weight of the snow caused the roof to collapse . After viewing the damage, Vikings management and the NFL decided to move the game to Monday and play it at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan . Because of on - going repairs to the roof of the Metrodome, the Vikings played their December 20 game versus the Chicago Bears at TCF Bank Stadium . Favre threw the final touchdown pass of his career (to Percy Harvin) in this game . The game was played 29 years to the day after the last outdoor game at old Met Stadium . On December 26, the NFL announced that the game versus the Philadelphia Eagles was being postponed to Tuesday, December 28, 2010 because of blizzard conditions . This marks the third consecutive venue or date change for a Vikings game and was the first NFL game played on a Tuesday since 1964 . The Vikings proceeded to upset the dynamic Eagles offense, led by a resurgent Michael Vick, 24--14 with rookie Joe Webb at the helm . The Vikings finished the season 6--10 with a 20--13 loss against the Detroit Lions . </P>
