Favre Passes Another Milestone

The Associated Press

Published: November 12, 2007

GREEN BAY, Wis. - Brett Favre passed another milestone and Green Bay roughed up rookie running back Adrian Peterson in a 34-0 rout of the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

Favre joined Dan Marino as the only quarterbacks in NFL history to throw for 60,000 career yards, as the Packers (8-1) went back to their short passing game after winning their last two games on a pair of deep passes from Favre.

The Packers were leading 27-0 late in the third quarter when Peterson caught a pass from Vikings quarterback Brooks Bollinger and was tackled low by cornerback Al Harris, injuring his knee.

After spending several minutes on the ground, Peterson was helped back to the bench, where the Vikings' medical staff appeared to be examining his right knee. He did not return to the game, finishing with 45 yards on 11 carries.

Favre was 33 of 46 for 351 yards and three touchdowns before he was relieved by backup Aaron Rogers with just less than four minutes left in the game. Favre broke Marino's record for career touchdown passes against the Vikings earlier this year, and now trails Marino's all-time passing yardage mark by 1,105 yards.
