The storyline
Vikings veteran quarterback Brett Favre comes in on 10 days rest to try to improve on the shaky opening-night outing he had against the Saints.

Why you should watch
Dolphins QB Chad Henne has not looked right yet, including during the preseason, but Brandon Marshall should be a handful downfield for Minnesota. Expect to see a lot of Adrian Peterson.

Did you know?
Dolphins coach Tony Sparano is 5-3 in his career against the NFC. ... Miami TE Anthony Fasano needs four receptions to reach 100 for his career. ... Vikings TE Visanthe Shiancoe has a touchdown catch in three consecutive games. ... Minnesota DE Jared Allen has 21 sacks in his past 18 home games (including the playoffs).
