Brett Favre added another feat to his overflowing resume. He's the first quarterback in history to beat all 32 NFL teams. And, he saved the best for last -- the Green Bay Packers.
CBS station WCCO-TV reports.
Favre's first game against his former team was all fun for the Minnesota Vikings and all frustration for the Packers, as the graying quarterback kept his cool and connected for three touchdown passes and 271 yards in a 30-23 victory on Monday night.
Favre went 24 for 31, without a turnover. He celebrated his first scoring toss with an awkward body bump with kicker Ryan Longwell, also a former Packers teammate, and showed plenty of emotion on this most emotional night. He stayed poised in the pocket and avoided the risky throws that have defined his career almost as much as the success.
Favre hugged Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Donald Driver and several other Packers once the game was over. Rodgers tried to engineer the kind of drive his predecessor is famous for, but he came up short.

Favre spent most of his career as a Green Bay Packer, being the star quarterback for 16 years.
