The Green Bay Packers are for real this year. If it wouldn’t have been for a bad call against the Chicago Bears, the Packers would be undefeated along with the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots.

The Packers looked impressive Monday night as they beat the Denver Broncos, 19-13, in overtime to improve to 6-1 on the year. Tha Packers, who are tied with the Dallas Cowboys for the best record in the NFC, lead the Detroit Lions by one game in the NFC North.

Brett Favre was magical again on MNF as he connected on a 82-yard touchdown pass to Greg Jennings on the first play in overtime. Jennings got behind Broncos cornerback Dre’ Bly and cruised into the end zone as Favre rushed to celebrate Green Bay’s first 6-1 start in five years.

Favre’s bomb to Jennings was the second longest touchdown pass in overtime in the history of the NFL. Philadelphia Eagles quartback Ron Jaworski connected on a 99-yard touchdown pass to Eagles wideout Mike Quick in a game played on Nov. 10, 1985.

Some people have said that Favre has lost some zip on his passes the last couple of years. The Broncos definitely are thinking different as Favre won for the 18th time on MNF during his stellar career.

The Monday night stage has provided some of the best moments in Favre’s career, from the incredible game in Oakland following the death of his father, to his game-winner to Antonio Freeman in overtime against Minnesota.

This one may top the list for Favre who throw for 331 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Favre ranks second on MNF in passing yards (7,878) and touchdown passes (56).

It was Green Bay’s first overtime road win in almost 24 years. The last time the Packers won in overtime was in Tampa Bay on Dec. 12, 1983. It was the Packers first win in six trips to Denver.

Favre is now 6-1 for the third time in his career.

In 1996, the year the Packers won the Super Bowl they started out 6-1. The only other time Green Bay started 6-1 in Favre’s career was in 2002, when they lost to Atlanta in the first round of the playoffs at Lambeau Field. It was Green Bay’s first home playoff loss in franchise history.

Favre has a chance to join Peyton Manning and Tom Brady as the only quarterback to beat every team in the league next week when the Pack travel to Kansas City. Favre has never beaten the Chiefs in his career.
