Brett Favre returned to Lambeau Field Sunday and he led his Minnesota Vikings (7-1) to a victory over his former Green Bay Packers (4-3).  Favre and the Vikings offense built a 17-3 lead going into halftime and it looked like it might be a blowout as the Vikings opened up the second half with a touchdown.  Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense finally responded though and scored 17 straight points to put the Packers back in the game.  Rodgers had another good game, but lacked protection once again.  He went 26/41 for 287 yards and three touchdowns.   Ryan Grant only got 30 yards on 10 carries.  Jared Allen and the Vikings defense did exactly what they did in the last match-up, blowing by the Packers’ offensive line and getting to Rodgers.  Allen led the Vikings with three sacks and they had six as a team.

The Packers defense could not do much to contain Favre, especially in the redzone.  He had four touchdown passes and no interceptions, while connecting on 17/28 passes for 244 yards.  They also gave up a huge passing play when Favre hit Percy Harvin for a 51-yard touchdown to open the second half.  The Packers offensive line really needs to get it together, as they have been giving up a ton of sacks all year.  If Rodgers can continually put up big numbers, despite getting sacked five times a game, imagine what he could do with good protection.
