The Packers fell to 3-3 on the year with their 23-20 overtime loss to Miami Sunday.

Questions still remain about the Packers' ability to compete despite a rash of injuries, but you can bet those queries will take a back seat this week as the team prepares for its next opponent: the Minnesota Vikings.

With the Vikings, of course, comes Brett Favre's second return to Lambeau and the obnoxious media cicurs that has blown the divorce between Favre and the Packers into a Greek tragedy.

The game will be played Sunday night, in front of a nationally-televised audience, so you can expect the normal amount of adulation and hero-worship from the NBC studio team and game announcers Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth.

What makes things even more interesting is Farve's Tuesday meeting with NFL investigators over allegations he sent inappropriate text messages to a New York Jets game hostess during his one-year stint in the Big Apple.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has promised that the investigation would proceed quickly. If Favre is proven guilty, he could face a suspension under the league's conduct policy.

Wouldn't it be something -- though highly unlikely -- if Favre was forced to sit this one out?
