The Minnesota Vikings are back in the belly of the beast tonight, the New Orlean's Superdome. That's where last season ended with a tough loss to the Saints, just one win short of the Super Bowl. Despite getting pummeled in that game, 40-year-old quarterback Brett Favre had an outstanding season last year, and is back with the goal to lead Minnesota to its first Super Bowl victory ever.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer previews the game and the team's season ahead in a conversation with Brian Murphy who covers the Vikings for the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
