It was a picture-perfect night for Favre, who turns 40 this Saturday. Starting his NFL-record 273rd straight game, Favre, who holds every significant career passing record, set a milestone by becoming the first QB in league history to beat all 32 NFL teams. He connected on 24-of-31 passes.
" I was about as nervous as I've ever been before a game going into this one," said Favre. "I didn't think I would be, but when I got to the hotel yesterday it kind of dawned on me.
"I had church today at 3 o'clock and I was sitting there and throwing all kinds of prayers out. I said 'man I'm losing it.' But I'm so thankful the way this game went and we were able to win it. The good lord answered my prayers I guess. " Brett Favre

"The preparation will be difficult again," said Favre. "I'm not really going to focus on where we're playing. It's going to be tough either way, as it was tonight. But I hope the Packer fans know how I feel about them.
"I know what it's like to be on the other side. That's pretty tough. I've been able to see both the good Lambeau, and the good and the bad here. I've had cheering against us, but it was awesome here tonight. That was a great environment here tonight and it will be in several weeks." Brett Favre
