Favre Is on Target in Easy Win

A week after their misadventure in Denver, Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers were sensational.

Favre threw three touchdown passes and the Packer secondary had six interceptions as Green Bay humiliated the Chargers, 31-3, Sunday. Green Bay (4-2) won for the first time in three road games.

“We laid an egg a week ago and everyone on this team was challenged to play the type of football that’s acceptable,” said Packer Coach Ray Rhodes, who snapped a personal 18-game road winless streak dating to his stint with the Eagles.

The Chargers felt a lot like the Packers after they were humbled, 31-10, at Denver.

“I’m choking on my pride right now,” said starting quarterback Erik Kramer, whose three interceptions set up Packer touchdowns and sent him to the bench after three quarters.

“It’s an embarrassing loss,” said Jim Harbaugh, who came on and threw three more interceptions.

In the Denver loss, Favre completed seven of 23 passes for 120 yards and three interceptions. Against the Chargers (4-2), who were shakier than usual on pass coverage because of injuries, Favre was an efficient 12 for 22 for 173 yards and one interception.

“I played just like I did last week,” Favre said. “But I’m sure people will say that it sure didn’t look like it.”

After Kramer threw his third interception, Favre put it away by leading a 99-yard, 14-play drive. A three-yard scoring pass to Antonio Freeman made it 28-3 with three seconds left in the third quarter.

Dorsey Levens, who scored in the second quarter, had 71 yards on the long drive, including 25 on a swing pass that got the ball to the Charger five.
