  Larry W. Smith/EPABrett Favre threw three touchdowns for the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.MINNEAPOLIS — This is why Brett Favre said he was coming back. And back he is — maybe better than ever.
  Then Favre put a veritable exclamation point on the game late in the fourth quarter when he hit Visanthe Shiancoe for his personal playoff-best fourth TD pass. Never in 22 previous postseason games had he thrown for that many touchdowns. And never before had he beaten Dallas in the playoffs. Favre completed 15 of 24 passes for 234 yards to finally do it.
