Favre 2-0 against Packers

For the second time in less than a month, Brett Favre sliced up his former team and stuck it to the franchise that cast him aside as the Minnesota Vikings beat the Green Bay Packers 38-26 at Lambeau Field on Sunday.

If walking out to waves of loud jeers from his former fans threw Favre off his game, it didn't last long. Despite being jeered repeatedly by Packers fans who once cheered his every move, Favre completed 17 of 28 passes for 244 yards and four touchdowns. The Vikings (7-1) took a firm hold on the NFC North standings.

Rookie receiver Percy Harvin caught five passes for 84 yards and a touchdown and had five returns for 175 yards.

The Vikings' defense roughed up Favre's successor, Aaron Rodgers, sacking him six times. But with the Packers (4-3) on the verge of getting routed, Rodgers rebounded with three second-half touchdowns.

Favre left the field surrounded by cameras, pumping his fist to a mix of cheers and boos as he jogged down the tunnel. He hugged cornerback Al Harris, Driver and Jennings.

Despite the final score, it was an awkward homecoming for Favre, whose high-profile standoff with the front office split the loyalties of Packers fans last summer.

There weren't many signs of a split Sunday.

Fans booed Favre loudly -- first when he walked out of the tunnel for pregame warmups, then again when he ran out of the tunnel for the game, and on every snap during the Vikings' first few offensive possessions.

Colts 18, 49ers 14

The Colts won their 16th straight regular-season game, the equivalent of an undefeated season, and Jim Caldwell became the first rookie coach since the NFL merger to open his career with seven consecutive wins.

Peyton Manning topped 300 yards passing and running back Joseph Addai threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne early in the final quarter to give the Colts their only lead.

The Colts (7-0) are the last unbeaten team in the AFC for the fourth time in five years.

San Francisco (3-4) has lost three straight.

Ravens 30, Broncos 7

Rookie Lardarius Webb returned the second-half kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown, and the Ravens ended a three-game losing streak with a surprisingly easy victory.

It was Denver's first loss under rookie head coach Josh McDaniels. The Broncos (6-1) came in with the NFL's top-ranked defense, a plus-7 turnover differential and one of the league's best kick returners in Eddie Royal. Denver had also outscored the opposition 76-10 after halftime.

The Ravens (4-3), however, dominated all those facets.

Titans 30, Jaguars 13

Vince Young threw for a touchdown in his first start since the 2008 season opener, Chris Johnson set a franchise record by rushing for 228 yards, and the Titans (1-6) won their first game of the season. Tampa Bay, which had a bye this week, remains the only winless team. Tennessee's skid of eight straight went back to the end of last season.

Maurice Jones-Drew provided the lone highlights for Jacksonville (3-4), running for 177 yards.

Chargers 24, Raiders 16

LaDainian Tomlinson scored twice, the first in the wildcat, and the Chargers took their 13th straight victory against the Raiders. It's the longest active NFL winning streak by one team over another.

The Chargers (4-3) swept the series for the sixth straight season.

Panthers 34, Cardinals 21

Carolina quarterback Jake Delhomme threw a 50-yard touchdown pass before leaving with a chest injury and Jonathan Stewart ran for two scores.

The Panthers (3-4) rolled up 270 yards on the ground against what had been the No. 1 rushing defense in the NFL.

Arizona's Kurt Warner was intercepted five times and fumbled the ball away once. Julius Peppers returned one of the picks 13 yards for a touchdown.

Eagles 40, Giants 17

Donovan McNabb threw three touchdown passes and DeSean Jackson had another big TD catch for the Eagles. The game was just the appetizer in a marathon day in the NY-Philadelphia rivalry. The Yankees and Phillies were set for the first pitch of Game 4 of the World Series across the street only hours after the Eagles' rout ended in Philadelphia.

The Eagles (5-2) remained undefeated in the division, while New York (5-3) has lost three straight games.

Cowboys 38, Seahawks 17

Miles Austin caught a touchdown pass for the third straight game and Patrick Crayton returned a punt for a score for the second consecutive week, sending Dallas (5-2) into a share of first place in the NFC East.

Dolphins 30, Jets 25

Ted Ginn Jr. became the first player to return two kickoffs for touchdowns in the same quarter since Green Bay's Travis Williams in 1967 as Miami (3-4) swept the two regular-season games.

Ginn had returns of 100 and 101 yards.

Texans 31, Bills 10

Ryan Moats, taking over after starter Steve Slaton lost yet another fumble, scored three touchdowns on consecutive fourth-quarter drives to help the Texans (5-3) win their third straight game for their best start in franchise history. Matt Schaub bounced back from two first-half interceptions to lead six scoring drives on seven possessions.

Moats finished with a career-high 23 carries for 126 yards.

Bears 30, Browns 6

Jay Cutler threw for 225 yards, Matt Forte ran for two touchdowns and the Bears (4-3) easily beat the bumbling Browns (1-7).
