Broken thumbed Favre shuffles ‘Pack’ to victory

BRETT FAVRE overcame a broken thumb, and his Minnesota hoodoo, to inspire his Green Bay Packers to a 30-27 win over the Vikings in NFL action on Sunday.

Playing with a splint on his right thumb, Favre extended his NFL record for consecutive starts this being his 165th while tossing three touchdown passes as the 'Pack' picked up a critical win on the road.

Washington Redskins quarterback Patrick Ramsay was battered and bruised, as his offensive line failed to protect him once again, this time in the 21-14 loss to bitter rivals the Dallas Cowboys.
