Favre Knocks Off 31st Foe

By DOUG TUCKER, The Associated Press

Published: November 5, 2007

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Add one more uncommon distinction to the glittering resume of Brett Favre.

Hitting Greg Jennings for a 60-yard touchdown pass with 3:05 to go Sunday, Favre rallied Green Bay past Kansas City 33-22 and joined Tom Brady and Peyton Manning as quarterbacks who've beaten all 31 other teams in the NFL.

In an odd confluence of timing among three of the game's greats, Manning and Brady both achieved the career milestone only one week ahead of Favre, who had been 0-3 vs. the Chiefs.

"I've been on some pretty good teams that came in and lost," said Favre, who hit 24 of 34 passes for 360 yards with two TDs and two interceptions while notching his 40th game-winning rally.

"Do I think those teams are better than this team? Yeah, but the record 7-1 speaks for itself. We're finding ways to win games, but we're also finding ways to make them closer than maybe they should be."

Packers coach Mike McCarthy was impressed.

"I know only Peyton and Brady have accomplished that," he said. "That's incredible. Another record for him."

The Chiefs (4-4) had taken a 22-16 lead with 5:18 left on Damon Huard's 17-yard pass to Tony Gonzalez and a 2-point conversion run by Priest Holmes, who came in when Larry Johnson injured his ankle a few minutes earlier.

Jennings, whose 82-yard touchdown catch on the first play of overtime lifted Green Bay past Denver six days earlier, went streaking down the middle of the field on a cleverly designed play that had cornerback Patrick Surtain break off coverage and left linebacker Donnie Edwards alone with the fleet receiver.
