Packers...31 Panthers...17

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Brett Favre won the senior bowl, throwing three touchdown passes in the Green Bay Packers’ 31-17 victory over fellow passing patriarch Vinny Testaverde and the Carolina Panthers.

It was Favre’s 62nd career game with at least three touchdown passes, tying yet another of Dan Marino’s records.

The 44-year-old Testaverde and 38-year-old Favre formed the oldest starting quarterbacks duo in NFL history. But Favre is playing as if he’s in his prime these days, completing 22 of 30 passes for 218 yards Sunday.

Testaverde was out of the league a little more than a month ago, and played Sunday without injured receiver Steve Smith. Testaverde threw two second-half touchdown passes after Carolina (4-6) fell behind, 28-3.

It was the first of three games in 12 days for the Packers (9-1), who play at Detroit on Thanksgiving and at Dallas the following Thursday.

Quoteworthy: “I see the confidence that we have, and it makes me nervous. But I guess I kind of have to give in to it.” -- Brett Favre, Packers quarterback
