Brett Favre delivered a bit of magic with an 82 yard touchdown pass to Greg Jennings in overtime to seal win number six for the Pack this season.



The game started with the Packers going three and out on the first possession of the game that was followed by the go ahead touchdown drive by the Broncos on a series of Jay Cutler play-action passes that ended with a Tony Scheffler reception in the end zone. But the Pack wouldn’t go down that easily, on the first play Favre found a free James Jones on the Broncos’ 30yd line, after which the rookie burned Champ Bailey breaking free and crossing the field for Green Bay’s first touchdown.

The Packers found their running game with Ryan Grant the rookie picked off this season from the Giants and could have made it 21-7 at halftime, but a series of costly penalties in the red zone stopped a 99 yards drive on the Denver 1yd line and a 85 yards drive to the 3 and the teams went to the locker rooms with the Packers leading 13-7.

The second half saw a hard fought game with the Broncos trying to get the go-ahead touchdown but the Packers defense came up big, Pro Bowler Aaron Kampman sacking Cutler 3 times, so Denver had to rely once again on clutch kicker Jason Elam to tie the game 13-13 as time expired to send the game in overtime.

The Packers won the coin toss and on the first play in overtime Favre(21 of 27 for 331 yards and 2 TD’s) threw a bullet deep down the left side to Greg Jennings who beat Dre’ Bly for the win and another memorable Monday Night Football performance by Brett Favre and the Packers.
