Favre, Vikings Beat Green Bay At Lambeau Field

Quarterback Bret Favre was back on familiar turf in Lambeau Field in Green Bay Sunday. But after 16 years with the Packers, Favre returned wearing white and purple — and throwing passes for the Minnesota Vikings, including four touchdown passes.

The Vikings downed the Packers, 38-26. After the game, Favre was greeted by some of his old teammates. But many Green Bay fans were less cordial. One wore an old Favre No. 4 jersey with the word "Judas" stenciled across it; another held a sign reading, "Halloween is over, take off that purple costume."

Vikings rookie Percy Harvin also had a hand in Favre beating his old team for the second time this season: In addition to returning five kicks for 175 yards, Harvin had 84 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Favre's replacement in Green Bay, was repeatedly harassed by the Vikings defense. Still, he finished with three touchdown passes as the Packers tried to mount a late comeback.

With the victory, Minnesota improved its record to 7-1; the team is in first place in the NFC North. At 4-3, the Packers are tied with Chicago for second place in the division.
