Brett Favre has officially defeated every team in the NFL

Veteran quarterback Brett Favre put his former team to the sword as the Minnesota Vikings defeated the Green Bay Packers 30-23. Favre, up against the team he led for 16 years, racked up 271 yards and three touchdown passes, to outshine his replacement at the Packers, Aaron Rodgers.

The 39-year-old completed 24 from 31 passes, setting up scores for Visanthe Shiancoe, Sidney Rice and Bernard Berrian.

The Vikings defence also impressed, sacking Rodgers eight times, 4.5 of them the work of Jared Allen, including a safety in the fourth quarter that put his side 30-14 in front.

Rodgers did throw two touchdown passes and an interception, though, and having gone 16 points ahead, the Vikings were forced to resist a late Green Bay fightback.
