Not gaining a single yard on 1st and 2nd down, then getting a 12 man in the huddle penalty...AND losing 3 fumbles is what lost them the game.

I don't know about the NFL announcers, and it certainly wasn't THE deciding factor in the Vikes losing, but as soon Favre threw that pick, Aikman(who in my opnion is a better QB than Favre) said "that is the first thing you learn NOT to do as a QB--run one direction, and throw the ball back across the middle--you can't see guys in coverage"
Favre was believing his own hype, that he could produce some miracle play when all he needed to do was scramble for 5 and slide to give the Vikes a FG opportunity.
I still find it incredibly funny--2 NFC Championships both ending with losses from picks he threw. ha ha ha
