Monday Night Football: Brett Favre Tosses 82-Yard Touchdown in Overtime to Lift Packers Past Broncos

Atlanta, Ga. 10/30/2007 11:58:56 AM

Brett Favre hit Greg Jennings on an 82-yard touchdown pass on the first play of overtime to give the Green Bay Packers a 19-13 victory over the Denver Broncos on Monday night.

 

The win improved the Packers to 6-1 on the year while the loss dropped the Broncos to 3-4 this season.

 

Favre finished 21 of 27 for 331 yards and two touchdowns while Jennings ended the night with 141 yards receiving and James Jones totaled 107 yards in the air on three receptions.

 

Denver scored on their second possession of the game as Jay Cutler led a 10-play 60-yard drive capped by a 5-yard touchdown pass to Tony Scheffler. Green Bay wasted little time tying the game as Favre hit Jones on a 79-yard bomb on their second possession.

 

Green Bay added a pair of field goals in the second quarter to head into half time with a 13-7 lead.

 

Despite shutting the Packers offense down in the second half there was little the Broncos could do to mount a scoring drive of their own. Jason Elam cut the Broncos deficit to 13-10 in the third quarter with a 45-yarder but it wouldn’t be until the final seconds of regulation that the Broncos would score again.

 

With less than two and a half minutes left in the game Cutler started the Broncos final drive on their own 7 yard line. After converting a fourth and two, Cutler hit Brandon Marshal on a 35-yard pass play to put the Broncos on the Packers 26 yard line with 1:16 on the clock.

 

Cutler then hit Marshall again, this time a 13-yarder that put Denver on the 13 yard line. The Broncos had a chance to win the game in regulation but missed Marshall on a 2nd and 1 and then stopped for no gain on 3rd and 1 before Elam booted the game tying field goal with no time on the clock.

 

For all the work the Broncos did to score the game tying field goal, it was all over on the first play of overtime as Favre spotted Jennings streaking down the left sideline for the 82-yard game-winner.
