Jeff Dugan News

Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando NFL officiating director Mike Pereira made no mention during his "Official Review" show of the dubious tripping penalty called against the Vikings in Week 7. I'll try to pick up the slack.

Jeff Dugan eluded Atari Bigby for a fourth-quarter touchdown catch Sunday. Last update: November 2, 2009 - 6:41 AM Featured comment Wow You have got to be kidding.

The Vikings ' strong special-teams play is a key reason they're 7-1 this season.

Brett Favre left no doubt he can beat the Packers. He's also quite good at new math.

Green Bay's defensive players weren't the ones to feel Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson's wrath this weekend.

Posted by ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert Well. We delayed this post for a day in hopes that the NFL's officiating supervisor would address the tripping penalty on Minnesota tight end Jeff Dugan in last Sunday's 27-17 loss at Pittsburgh.

The Vikings had plenty of chances to win Sunday against the Steelers but ultimately coughed the ball up one too many times in the 27-17 loss.

The Vikings might have a classic No. 1 receiver after all. After failing to top 100 receiving yards in his first 31 NFL games, Sidney Rice has easily exceeded that figure in his past two, following up his six-catch, 176-yard game against the Baltimore Ravens with a career-high 11 catches for 136 yards Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Sure, Minnesota allowed two fourth-quarter, back-breaking defensive touchdowns that ultimately decided the outcome of the game.

Back judge Richard Reels was injured on Percy Harvin's 88-yard kickoff return for a touchdown late in the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

JASON : Hey, Helmet Hair, before we start breaking down Sunday's opponent , let's rewind a few days and recap the this-isn't-about-revenge revenge game from Monday night.

The Vikings were able to take a 28-14 lead because of a big catch by backup tight end Jeff Dugan from Brett Favre.

It was a picture-perfect night for Favre, who turns 40 this Saturday. Starting his NFL-record 273rd straight game, Favre, who holds every significant career passing record, set a milestone by becoming the first QB in league history to beat all 32 NFL teams.

Brett Favre had defeated the other 31 NFL teams before. There was only one remaining.

Miami introduced the NFL to the Wildcat offense last season and showed it is still the best at running it in a 27-23 loss to Indianapolis on Monday night.
