The Facts:
Asthma did what the Vikings' defense couldn't do Sunday. It stopped Lacy. Lacy, a battering ram for the Packers Sunday at Lambeau Field in a 26-26 tie, left the game late in overtime when his respiratory condition made worse by 19-degree weather caught up to him. "It's worse in the winter time," Lacy said. "I've had it since I was little. Sometimes it's worse than others."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
It was by far the coldest game ever for Lacy, who played in high school at Geismar, La., and in college at Alabama. "And it's going to get worse, I think," he said, looking ahead to two December games in Green Bay and another in Chicago. Until then, Lacy had one of his best games of an outstanding rookie season. After a slow start, he pounded the Vikings on a consistent basis. Lacy finished with 110 yards in 25 carries against a defense that played almost the entire game with an extra safety in the box. In the last two games the Packers had rushed for just 154 yards (3.1 average) against defenses that jammed the line. But Lacy remains a solid play going forward.
