MINNEAPOLIS -- Percy Harvin's 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown gave Minnesota a spark to start the second half, and the Vikings overcame another uneven game by Brett Favre in a 24-21 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
Playing with a bad elbow and the specter of a scandal hovering over him, Favre -- who is to meet with NFL security Tuesday about the alleged racy messages he sent to a former New York Jets employee -- took a bunch of big hits and finished 14 for 19 for 118 yards, one touchdown and one turnover.
Randy Moss's first home game since joining the Vikings in a trade turned into an afterthought, but the defense and special teams did plenty to make up for Favre's unpolished play.
