Favre was once again on the field with the Green Bay Packer, only this time he was their opponent. He had played as their quarterback but two years ago was in a rude way forced out because they felt as if his time as a starter had come to an end. They forced him out in order to give their future, Aaron Rodgers, The starting position. He was pushed to retire and when he came back was quickly traded to the New York Jets. He was not comfortable here so he decided to retire once again. Next season he was presented with the opportunity to come to the Minnesota Vikings, the rivals of his former team. He was very indecisive but eventually choose to go to the Viking, which led to this rivalry game in week Four.It was on Monday night football and was following a great winning throw for Brett Favre with ten seconds left against the San Francisco 49er's. The hype for this game was huge and in my opinion it lived up to it. It was a shootout for the first four touchdowns. 
It went back and fourth 14-14. Then the Vikings scored two more times to make it 28-14. This was monumental because 3 of these four touchdowns had been passes from Brett Favre. This in itself was a kind of statement saying: Hey i can play and I'm here to take this team far. This seemed to have a huge impact because of their current record of 4-0, and because they beat a long time rival.

As the season continues he will fall into sync wit
h his receivers and his running backs. His offensive line and him have already connected and they continue to do all in their power to protect him. This showed in the Game because he was not sacked at all the entire game.

After the game many of Favre's former team came to greet him with lots of respect. One of which was his former receiver Donald Driver. Favre was pushed out by his former team and was replaced by his student. Even with this he had nothing but respect for the young quarterback and greeted him on the field after the game had ended.
