Vikings quarterback Brett Favre says there is no way he'll miss next weekend's game against the Cardinals. "I'm ready to play next week," Favre said. "Nobody knows my body like me. I think I'll be all right, ready to play next week." Favre needed stitches to repair a laceration on his chin and appeared woozy when he was carted off the field against the Patriots on Sunday. "I'm shocked I was able to play and move around the way that I was," he said, referencing two fractures in his ankle. "My prayers were answered. ... I expect to play (all season). I made decision to come back, and I feel like this team is close."
