I thought my girls were going to stroke out at the way their old Mom lost it the last three minutes of the Packer game today! AWESOME! All I can say is they can thank me for the last TD, I ran upstairs and got my cheesehead hat and put it on for extra security, and it worked! :biggrin: Go Brett! :claps:
Packers, Chargers at opposite ends of emotional spectrum
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Don't even pretend you thought the Green Bay Packers (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=gnb) would be undefeated this deep into September. If Brett Favre (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=1025) didn't -- and he was still shaking his head about this latest win -- then you couldn't have envisioned it, either.
"Did I think we could be 3-0?" said Favre, who thankfully never had his honesty gland removed. "Probably not." But here they are, unbeaten but no longer unnoticed. Favre isn't quite sure what to make of the streak, but "it sure beats the alternative."
SNIP
I could overanalyze it, but I just missed," Rivers said.
He wasn't alone. The Chargers lost because they couldn't stop Favre, who threw for 369 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. The third TD, a 57-yarder to Greg Jennings (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=7801) that put the Packers ahead with 2:03 remaining, tied Favre with Dan Marino for career touchdowns (420).
Favre was so thrilled about tying Marino that he almost yawned.
"I'm going to be totally honest with you," he said. "I am so glad we won that I could care less about that record."
