Brett Favre added another feat to his overflowing resume: He’s the first quarterback in history to beat all 32 NFL teams. Favre’s first game against his former team was all fun for the Minnesota Vikings and all frustration for the Packers, as the graying quarterback kept his cool and connected for three touchdown passes and 271 yards in a 30-23 victory on Monday night.
The Packers, trailing 30-23, failed to recover an onside kick with less than a minute remaining. The Vikings led 30-14 in the fourth quarter, but had to hold off a rally from Aaron Rodgers and Co. “I don’t know how to explain it. I felt right, but I guess I never thought I’d be in that situation,” Favre said. Just days before his 40th birthday, Vikings QB Brett Favre looked fresh and vivacious. Facing the team he led for 16 seasons for the first time, No. 4 disoriented the Packers’ defense and racked up 271 yards and three touchdowns on 24 of 31 passing.
While Favre had seemingly all night to let each play develop and find receivers, Rodgers did not enjoy the same protection. The Vikings sacked Rodgers eight times, including once in the end zone for a safety, intercepted him once and also forced a fumble.
Favre hugged Rodgers, Donald Driver and several other Packers once the game was over. Rodgers tried to engineer the kind of drive his predecessor is famous for, but he came up short.
“Below my expectations, definitely,” Rodgers said. “To have three possessions where you’re in their territory and come away with zero points, two of them are directly related to mistakes by myself, that’s disappointing.” Favre had tons of time to throw throughout the game, and Rodgers had the exact opposite experience — often hanging onto the ball too long. He finished 26 for 37 for a career-high 384 yards, many of them in desperation down the stretch, and two touchdown passes.
