He has won three most valuable player awards. He led seven division championship teams. He won a Super Bowl in 1997, and he owns countless NFL records.

Yes, Brett Favre has done it all in his famed NFL career, except walk into historic Lambeau Field as a visitor.

That, Favre did on Sunday as a member of Green Bay's most hated rival... the Minnesota Vikings.

The game started out as a tale of two teams, but the border battle became a true tale of two halves.

At least some Packer fans voiced their approval of Favre's decision to play with Minnesota, but in the first half Favre and the Vikings went to work on Green Bay.

After Adrian Peterson scored the game's first touchdown, Favre connected with Visanthe Shiancoe to make it a 14-3 Minnesota lead.

But, Green Bay wasn't worried, they had Aaron Rogers in their corner.

Second half... Rodgers connects with Spencer Havner for the second time in the game.

That cut the lead to four.

Later, Rodgers finds Greg Jennings for the short touchdown pass... Green Bay staying close.

But, Brett Favre hit Bernard Berrian inside of five minutes to go, Favre's fourth touchdown pass of the day.

The Vikes were too much for the Packers in the end, beating them out 38 to 26.

That leaves the Vikes (7-1) this season.

Green Bay is (4-3).
