PERFORMANCE

Grade: A Favre heard a lot of boos but he sure didn't look rattled in his first game back at Lambeau Field. He made big throws all game, did not throw an interception and got the ultimate revenge against his former team. "I knew I didn't have to prove anything," he said.

This week's "Classic Favre" moment Favre's deep throw down the middle of the field with three Packers defenders around Percy Harvin might have seemed ill-advised at first, but hey, the guy takes chances, right? It proved to be a thing of beauty as Harvin caught the ball while the three Packers collided and ended up on the ground. Harvin cruised for a 51-yard touchdown.

His best moment Favre squeezed a handful of passes into tight spots, which he did again on a 16-yard touchdown to Bernard Berrian late in the fourth quarter. Favre spotted Berrian running up the seam and fired a pass that reached Berrian a split second before Packers safety Nick Collins made a diving attempt to knock the ball away. Berrian shook off a head tackle by Al Harris to reach the end zone.

Worst moment Center John Sullivan took the blame for the botched snap that resulted in a fumble in the first quarter but there was communication breakdown as Favre tried to change the play. Lined up in shotgun, Favre was in the process of changing the call when Sullivan snapped it and hit Favre on the left hip. The Packers recovered it at the Vikings 21.

The Quote King "Deep down inside I know how they feel. But Packer fans cheer for Packers, first. I know that. I hope that everyone in the stadium watching tonight said, 'I sure hate that joker is on the other side, but he does play the way he's always played, and his excitement and passion for the game.' "
