Last week Brett Favre had a most forgetable game as he threw interceptions in the loss to Tampa Bay. On Sunday, Favre was like his old MVP status as he threw for 337 yards while completing 27 of 34 passes, including three touchdown passes. Also.... he did not throw any interceptions!!! Favre made it look very easy against the best defense in the NFL.
The Packers received the opening kick. Things started off good. Favre completed passes of 5 and 10 yards to Schroeder, and Ahmann Green ran for a gain of 9. Unfortunatly on the play, he fumbled and the Ravens recovered the ball at the 36. The first two plays netted negative yardage. On third and 11, Grbach passed to Quadry Ishmail for a gain of 47 yards down to the 18. On the next play, he passed to Travis Taylor for an 18 yard touchdown. Stover added the PAT and it was 7-0. Neither team theatened on their next possessions. Baltimore, lost a fumble on a second and nine play at the 41, which the Packers recovered. The Packers took over with just under five minutes remaining in the quarter. Favre connected with Schroeder on two consecutive plays for gains of 14 and 4 yards. A play action to Freeman gained 19 and got them down to the 13. Next Freeman gained eight, followed by a two yard gain by Ahmann Green as the quarter ended.
On the first play of the second quarter, Favre passed two yards to Bubba Franks for the touchdown. Longwell added the PAT at it was 7-7. The Ravens went three plays and out on their next series. Following a punt,the Packers took over at the 42. On first down, Favre threw for Schroeder but it was incomplete.However, Baltimore was called for pass interference and the penalty gave the Packers a first down at the 31. Favre kept the drive alive on third and 15 at the 26, by passing to Levens for a gain of 15.From there the drive stalled,and Longwell eventually came in and kicked a 33 yard field goal to give the Packers a 10-7 lead with 11 minutes remaining in the first half.The score remained that until the final minute. The Packers actually started the drive at the 26, following an interception by Mike Mckenzie.
