A great game for the Packers, shutting them out 34-0.  Favre had a great day, Grant had a great day with his 2nd 100-yard game and his first TD of his career also,  Ruvell Martin had a great day with his first 2-TD day.  How did you like his second TD catch?  I know I liked it.  The defense also did a great job covering the pass and holding Rookie Adrian Peterson to only 45 yards but then they let Chester Taylor come in and rush for 37.  Overall they only let up 86 yards.

Former University of Wisconsin QB Brooks Bollinger only had 176 passing yards while Brett Favre had 351 yards.  Aaron Rodgers came in late to get some playing time.  He only threw 2 passes but he completed them both for 17 yards.

 

Fourth quarter
GB 34, MIN 0
GB: Ruvell Martin, 17-yard pass from Brett Favre, 5:38
9 plays, 96 yards, TOP 5:54
Key plays: Passes of 16 and 10 yards to Koren Robinson and another of 34 yards to James Jones moved the Packers into scoring range.  Favre threw a pass into the endzone with Cedric Griffin waiting there for it until teammate Darren Sharper came to intercept it and he hit Cedric Griffin, hitting the ball in the air and Ruvell Martin caught it.
