Fresh off four straight wins overall and their first playoff victory in 13 years, the Dallas Cowboys are rolling.

The Minnesota Vikings haven’t taken the field in two weeks — and that may play right into the hands of their grizzled, 40-year-old quarterback.

Brett Favre and the Vikings will aim to use their first-round bye to their advantage Sunday when they host quarterback Tony Romo and the surging Cowboys in an NFC divisional playoff matchup.

After changing his mind about retirement for the second straight offseason, Favre showed he’s still among the game’s top quarterbacks while leading Minnesota to a 10-1 start. The Vikings then stumbled, losing three of their next four and bringing to mind Favre’s 2008, when he helped the New York Jets open 8-3 before wearing down late in the season and missing the playoffs after finishing 9-7.

This time, though, Favre concluded the regular season with a powerful statement, going 25 of 31 for 316 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions as the Vikings routed the New York Giants 44-7 to finish with a 12-4 record, the NFC’s second seed and a first-round bye.
