31-17, 9-1

It was the battle of the "old men."

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

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 like he's in his prime these days, completing 22-of-30 passes for 218 yards on Sunday.

Testaverde was out of the league a little more than a month ago, and played Sunday's game without injured receiver Steve Smith. He threw two second-half touchdowns after the Panthers fell behind 28-3, but was intercepted twice.

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. It was only the second road loss of the season for the Panthers (4-6), who are winless at home.

Green Bay has a three-game lead on Detroit and can virtually wrap up the NFC North with a win Thursday.

Favre is a baby compared to Testaverde.

I think it's pretty cool that 44-year-old Testaverde is still able to play as a QB in the NFL. That's quite an accomplishment.

I hope that makes Favre realize that he might have a number of seasons left in him. No need to even consider retirement.

Favre is playing great. He always says that he'll quit when he's not having fun anymore.

I think 9-1 is VERY fun.
9-1!
