Brette Favre of the Green Bay Packers tied Dan Marino's tuchdown record at 420 on Sunday against the San Diego Chargers. Favre went 28 of 45 with 369 yards and 3 tuchdowns against the bolts in Lambo Field. The tuchdown was thrown in the 4th quarter when the Packers were down 21 to 17 with about 2 minutes left in the game. Favre threw a slant to Greg Jennings and Jennings ran about 50 yards or so to a game winning tuchdown. Phillip Rivers of the Chargers had a chance with about a minute left in the game to win it but he threw an interception to ice the game.
When asked after the game how big the record was to Brett, Brett could care less about the record and more that the Packers won a big game and that his team was 3-0. "I could care less about the record," Favre said, "Everybody's congratulating me, but I told them it doesn't mean anything if we don't win the game." I don't think anybody in the NFL thought the Packers would start the season 3-0, especially after the season they had last year.
I am happy for Brett mostly because of what he has had to go through during his career as a quarter back and I hope the team does well for the rest of the season, but the offense does not have any real fire power...they have Favre, and Donald Driver and that is it. They have no running game to speak of with Brandon Jackson running for only 22 yards on 6 carries. Later on in the season, the defensive teams will just stop the passing game and win ball games that way.
