On first down, Favre found Driver alone in the back of the endzone and passed to him for the touchdown. Longwell added the p.a.t. and the Packers had a 7-0 lead.

The Packer defense would put up the next points early in the third quarter. After Green Bay failed to move the ball on the opening drive, Detroit took over at the 24. On third and 8, Harrington's pass was INTERCEPTED by Darren Sharper who returned it 35 yards for the touch down to give the Packers a 24-10 lead.
