GREEN BAY, Wisconsin (Ticker) -- The Green Bay Packers showedthat the best way to neutralize rookie phenom Adrian Peterson isto keep him off the field and get the ball into Brett Favre'shands as much as possible. Favre threw three touchdown passes and joined Dan Marino as theonly quarterbacks to pass for 60,000 yards as the Packerscoasted to a 34-0 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Playing in front of a Lambeau Field record crowd of 70,945,Green Bay posted its fourth straight win and improved to 8-1,matching the best start of Favre's career. Favre also started 8-1 in 1996 - when he won his only Super Bowl- and 2002. The Packers kept Peterson off the field with a ball-controloffense, maintaining possession for just under 20 minutes in thefirst half, when they built a 13-0 lead. Last week, Peterson rushed for an NFL-record 296 yards and threetouchdowns in a 35-17 victory over the San Diego Chargers. But against Green Bay, Peterson carried only nine times in thefirst half for 45 yards and carried just twice in the secondhalf before leaving with a bruised knee. At halftime, Green Bay held a 241-67 edge in total offense, andit didn't get any better for the Vikings in the second half. With Green Bay dominating time of possession, Favre exploitedthe Vikings' tired defense, passing 31 times in the first halfalone. Favre finished 33-of-46 for 351 yards, including a 1-yardscoring strike to Donald Lee with 9:32 remaining in the thirdquarter that was his 200th career touchdown pass at LambeauField. Favre, who surpassed 300 yards for the sixth time this season,also threw TD passes of 8 and 17 yards to Ruvell Martin in thesecond half. After the Vikings (3-6) went three-and-out to open the game, thePackers marched 82 yards on 12 plays on their initialpossession to grab a 7-0 lead on Ryan Grant's 30-yard touchdownwith 7:25 remaining. Grant, whose role has increased due to the season-endingshoulder injury to DeShawn Wynn, stole some thunder fromPeterson. He became the first running back to reach the century markagainst the Vikings this season, rushing for 119 yards on 25carries. It was the second 100-yard game in three weeks for Grant, whogained 104 yards in a 19-13 overtime win at Denver in WeekEight. Rookie Mason Crosby added field goals of 19 and 26 yards in thesecond quarter to give the Packers their 13-0 lead. Forced to start Brooks Bollinger with Tarvaris Jackson sidelineddue to a discussion, Minnesota's offense struggled throughout. The Vikings had a 1st-and-goal at the 7 early in the fourthquarter, but they were turned back as cornerback Charles Woodsonintercepted Bollinger, who completed 16-of-26 passes for 176yards. Green Bay recorded its first shutout since blanking Buffalo,10-0, on December 22, 2002, a span of 74 games.
GREEN BAY, Wisconsin (Ticker) -- The Green Bay Packers showedthat the best way to neutralize rookie phenom Adrian Peterson isto keep him off the field and get the ball into Brett Favre'shands as much as possible.

Playing in front of a Lambeau Field record crowd of 70,945,Green Bay posted its fourth straight win and improved to 8-1,matching the best start of Favre's career. Favre also started 8-1 in 1996 - when he won his only Super Bowl- and 2002. "Do I think we're a great team?" Favre said. "I don't know whatyou would classify great as. I think our record would indicatethat we're pretty good." The Packers kept Peterson off the field with a ball-controloffense, maintaining possession for just under 20 minutes in thefirst half, when they built a 13-0 lead. "That's clearly our best performance of the year and that's whatyou're looking for," Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said. Last week, Peterson rushed for an NFL-record 296 yards and threetouchdowns in a 35-17 victory over the San Diego Chargers. But against Green Bay, Peterson carried only nine times in thefirst half for 45 yards and carried just twice in the secondhalf before leaving with a knee injury. "It looks like a sprained right knee," Vikings coach BradChildress said. "He wanted to come back but with the way it was,we held him out." At halftime, Green Bay held a 241-67 edge in total offense, andit didn't get any better for the Vikings in the second half. With Green Bay dominating time of possession, Favre exploitedthe Vikings' tired defense, passing 31 times in the first halfalone. Favre finished 33-of-46 for 351 yards, including a 1-yardconnection to Donald Lee with 9:32 remaining in the thirdquarter that was his 200th career touchdown pass at LambeauField. "Favre is a great player," Childress added. "At his age, he isthrowing to what is working for him, using his tools, allowinghis guys to make plays. It was Football 101." Favre, who surpassed 300 yards for the sixth time this season,also threw TD passes of 8 and 17 yards to Ruvell Martin in thesecond half. "I (still) think there's so much more out there for us to do tobe more consistent in all phases," Favre said. After the Vikings (3-6) went three-and-out to open the game, thePackers marched 82 yards on 12 plays on their initialpossession to grab a 7-0 lead on Ryan Grant's 30-yard touchdownwith 7:25 remaining. Grant, whose role has increased due to the season-endingshoulder injury to DeShawn Wynn, stole some thunder fromPeterson. He became the first running back to reach the century markagainst the Vikings this season, rushing for 119 yards on 25carries. "We had to set a tone (on the ground)," Grant said. "But as goodas their rush defense is, we felt like if we execute, if wetake care of our part, good things will happen." It was the second 100-yard game in three weeks for Grant, whogained 104 yards in a 19-13 overtime win at Denver in WeekEight. "It (generating a running game) was something that we've beengiving a lot of emphasis," McCarthy said. "It starts up front. Ithought the run-blocking unit did an excellent job." Rookie Mason Crosby added field goals of 19 and 26 yards in thesecond quarter to give the Packers their 13-0 lead. Forced to start Brooks Bollinger with Tarvaris Jackson sidelineddue to a discussion, Minnesota's offense struggled throughout. "You never go into a football game expecting something likethis," Bollinger said. " Coming off last week, we felt like wehad some confidence but for whatever reason, it didn't carryover." The Vikings had a 1st-and-goal at the 7 early in the fourthquarter, but they were turned back as cornerback Charles Woodsonintercepted Bollinger, who completed 16-of-26 passes for 176yards. Green Bay recorded its first shutout since blanking Buffalo,10-0, on December 22, 2002, a span of 74 games.
