Rushing: 1 / -1 / 0
Favre attempted to get the Packer offense in gear, but he just could not connect for the long pass he kept trying to hit all afternoon. Favre used nine different receivers, spreading the ball around to everyone. The longest completion was on a RB screen to Ahman Green where he dashed for a 20 yard rush for a first down. In the third quarter, Favre appeared to throw an incompletion from the pocket as the ball squirted out of his hand, but the field officials ruled it as a fumble which Detroit recovered. The fumble led to three additional points for Detroit, making the score 10-3 at the time. With the clock running down and the lack of a running game, Favre tried to force the game towards a Packers' victory. Favre pushed until the end of the contest, attempting many passes that are difficult at best to complete. The result was that the final two possessions for Favre resulted in his second and third turnovers, the only two interceptions in the game.
Passing: 32 - 44, 342 yards, 3 TD, 2 INT

Favre reached a milestone in his career with 50,000 career passing yards, and had a big day statistically, but it was evident that he was not in sync with all of his receivers and missed the big play potential of Javon Walker. There were a number of miscommunications with Robert Ferguson, who made a different read than Favre on multiple plays throughout the game. While Donald Driver was his most targeted receiver, he looked most often to Antonio Chatman and Terrence Murphy down the stretch in the fourth quarter.

On fourth and five, Favre rolled back and completed a 37 yard touchdown pass to Robert Ferguson. After the Packers gained 56 yards on penalties against Tampa Bay, Favre threw a 20 yard touchdown pass to Antonio Chatman. And along with those great passes, he also made some poorly thrown passes. Favre was intercepted in the second quarter by Brian Kelly. In the second half, he threw an additional two interceptions. His last interception gave the ball back to the Buccaneers late in the fourth quarter, and they effectively ran the clock out ending the game.
Passing: 28 - 47, 303 yards, 4 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: 1 / 12 / 0
Favre looked rattled, annoyed, and generally uneven during the first half of the game. He managed to draw the score even early on with a first quarter touchdown pass to tight end David Martin. Once Carolina had gone up big, and the Packers had abandoned the running game, Favre started to light up the scoreboard. Three second half scoring strikes, one each to Donald Driver, Donald Lee, and Antonio Chatman gave Favre his most impressive fantasy performance of the year: 303 yards and four touchdowns. He also connected on two two point conversion passes.
Favre was also off on several of his throws, although his lone interception should be credited to Robert Ferguson's lack of aggressiveness on a ball stolen by defender Ken Lucas. Favre was sacked and fumbled the ball on the first drive of the game, directly leading to Carolina's first seven points. He also contributed a 12 yard scramble late in the game.
Passing: 19 - 27, 215 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT
Rushing: 1 / 9 / 0
Favre threw for 215 yards and three touchdowns for the Packers' first win of the season. With three scores this week, Favre has thrown seven touchdowns in his last two games contributing to the Packers' 74 points in the last six quarters of play. Favre looked very confident in the pocket and his inexperienced offensive line provided him ample time to find an open receiver throughout the game. Favre showed plenty of arm strength on a 25 yard touchdown pass to WR Robert Ferguson as he rolled to his left, planted his feet and threw a bullet to Ferguson in the rear of the end zone with two defenders guarding him. Two of his touchdown scores came off beautifully executed play action passes including the score to Ferguson. His other touchdown passes were to his tight ends, Donald Lee and David Martin.
Passing: 28 - 36, 315 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT
Rushing: 1 / 0 / 0
Favre looked unstoppable throughout the entire first half of the game completing his first 14 pass attempts and finishing the half 16 of 19 for 211 yards and two touchdowns. He finished the game going 28 of 36 for 315 yards but did not find the end zone in the second half. Favre had one of his best games in the Metrodome, a stadium he typically has struggled over his career. He orchestrated scoring drives of 96 yards and 60 yards that culminated with touchdown passes to Driver and Chatman, respectively. For the season, eight of Favre's 14 touchdown passes have been for 20 yards or more. With the potential loss of two key offensive players, Favre will be left with the burden of carrying the team with his passing. During the game, Favre became just the third quarterback in NFL history to throw for over 51,000 yards.
Passing: 26 - 39, 279 yards, 1 TD, 5 INT

Favre threw five interceptions during a stretch of six possessions almost killing any chance the Packers had to come back for a victory. However, the Bengals were unable to capitalize on the turnovers allowing Favre to nearly bring Green Bay back for the win. Favre was amazing on some throws standing in the pocket and getting hit, while simultaneously seeing open receivers and making plays. However, Favre was also terribly off target on more throws that were just awful and had to leave Green Bay fans scratching their heads. Favre ended the game by completing pass after pass to WR Antonio Chatman and TE Bubba Franks to bring the Packers back from a 14 point deficit, but fell just short. After crossing the fifty yard line down by only seven points Favre completed another pass to Chatman at the 28 yard line with about 30 seconds left, but was sacked on the next play. Instead of spiking the ball and giving the Packers one more shot at the end zone Favre faked the spike of the ball and scrambled toward the sideline. He had no one down field and ended up crossing the line of scrimmage before illegally flipping the ball forward to TE Bubba Franks.
Passing: 20 - 35, 214 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT

As is always the case, there is only so much Favre can do. Out of necessity and circumstance, Favre once again had to attempt to win from behind. But with so few weapons lately, not even the hall of fame bound QB can rescue the Pack every week. He still showed flashes of brilliance as evidenced by a couple of entertaining scrambles, one where he rolled to his right and threw the ball across the field for a 25 yard completion to William Henderson. And to be fair, his interception was not his fault as Donald Driver let the ball bounce right off his hands and into the Steelers' lap. He was also hurried into several overthrows during the second half.
Passing: 26 - 39, 252 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: 3 / 2 / 0
Favre led the Packers to an early lead with his hot hand on their opening drive and the aid of a Falcons turnover. With the lead and the running of Gado, Favre was not forced into the situation of constantly passing to help the team come from behind. Favre did not make the senseless throws into double or triple coverage, or throw the ball up for grabs. Instead, Favre passed when needed and looked for Gado to help share the workload. Favre was four of five for 60 yards on the opening drive that led to a touchdown and three plays later threw his only touchdown of the game to Gado on a shovel pass. He completed 26 of 39 for 252 yards, one touchdown and one interception. His interception was tipped and intercepted by Atlanta linebacker Demorrio Williams and later would result in a Falcons' touchdown.
Passing: 20 - 33, 227 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT
Favre made some mistakes that proved too costly to overcome, especially with an ineffective running game. He played well throughout most of the first half, completing a high percentage of his passes while hooking up with Donald Driver for two touchdowns. He also made his first mistake of the game, giving up a late first half interception that was returned for a score. His second interception ended a promising second half drive that killed Green Bay's momentum.
Passing: 15 - 33, 171 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT
Rushing: 1 / 4 / 0
Favre struggled early in the game, completing just one of his first ten passes and frequently missing open receivers with high errant throws. At times he looked like he was starting to find a rhythm, but turnovers proved costly time and again to Favre and the Green Bay offense. Favre found David Martin in the back of the end zone with a well thrown ball for his lone touchdown pass of the day. Favre often forced the ball to Donald Driver, despite frequent double coverage. Favre had two interceptions in the game, though one came on a Hail Mary throw late in the game.
Passing: 31 - 58, 277 yards, 0 TD, 2 INT

Favre has dominated the Bears during his career, especially on the road, but he didn't have a good game in week 13. Although he threw for 277 yards, he did not throw a touchdown and threw two interceptions. It was his first career game against the Bears where he did not throw at least one touchdown. He was fortunate to have only two interceptions as at least three other passes appeared to be catchable by Bears' defenders but were dropped. He also fumbled three times, two of which were recovered by the Bears. One of the lost fumbles was not Favre's fault as he was set to hand off the ball to Samkon Gado but Bears' defensive lineman Tommie Harris interrupted the play before the exchange could take place. Favre appeared to be injured on more than one occasion, but did not leave the game despite an injury on his throwing hand. Late in the game, he engineered a 17 play drive that resulted in no points as the clock expired. All 17 plays were pass attempts, eight of which were completed.
Passing: 21 - 31, 170 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: 1 / 7 / 0
On the second play of the Packers' first drive, the ball simply slipped out of Favre's hand as he was bringing the ball back, and it was recovered by the Lions. He made some great bullet throws, but made a few throws into triple coverage that did not come back to hurt him. At the beginning of the second quarter, Favre settled the offense and started to make some nice throws as he put the team in scoring position. He went in to half time with a very consistent 12 completions out of 14 attempts for 78 yards. He finished the night with 170 yards and an interception that came at the end of the fourth quarter on a Hail Mary pass.
Passing: 14 - 29, 144 yards, 0 TD, 2 INT
Favre played a poor game. His throws were hurried by the Ravens' pass rush, and his judgment was poor on most of the deep balls he threw. He completed less than half of his attempts, and those he did complete went for short yardage; they averaged 10.3 yards. Favre was intercepted twice in the game, but there were at least two or three other occasions where the ball was capable of being intercepted, but was mishandled by the defender. Without much of a running game, he tried to make things happen but forced too many bad passes in places where it cost the team. His lack of accuracy and judgment made the once dominant Favre look like a mediocre quarterback, at best.
Passing: 30 - 51, 317 yards, 0 TD, 4 INT
Favre completed 59% of his passes, with an average gain of 6.2 yards per passing attempt. With no touchdowns and four interceptions, Favre finished with just a 44.3 passer rating, and continued to struggle in the second half of the season. On each of his interceptions, Favre was desperately trying to make a play, and simply doesn't have the quality or depth at wide receiver for his intended targets to come up with the play on their own.
Passing: 21 - 37, 259 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: 1 / -1 / 0
Favre was able to move the Packers well with his arm through the game, but turnovers and inefficiency in the red zone kept the Packers from pulling away in the first half. Favre threw his first touchdown in five games when he got the Packers the lead in the second half. However, he threw several balls that were tipped and nearly intercepted on top of his two late turnovers (fumble and interception). Favre's future was the focus of the game dominating all discussion on the network broadcast. There was no formal ceremony or anything indicating that a decision has been made with regard to his possible playing future. Coach Mike Sherman allowed the crowd a chance to give him a thundering ovation when he left the game with :40 on the clock.
