Favre was 34 of 51 for 334 yards against the Steelers on Sunday, but had a critical fourth-quarter fumble and an interception that led directly to Minnesota's 27-17 loss.
Impacts: Favre didn't throw a touchdown pass for the first time this season on Sunday, but it was his two turnovers that were of greater concern. This is the Favre many NFL fans have come to expect, the one who plays well for 50 minutes but often turns careless during crunch time against tough defenses.

Brett Favre completed 34-of-51 passes for zero touchdowns against one interception in the Week 7 loss at Pittsburgh.
Our View: Favre, who also lost a fumble, had two turnovers on the day. Based on his overall numbers, Favre is a top-10 fantasy quarterback in all formats, but he has been somewhat inconsistent. The 19-year veteran has passed for multiple touchdowns in four games, and one or fewer scores three times. Up next, Favre should be skyhigh for a meeting against the Packers at legendary Lambeau Field.

He was simply spry and efficient, dodging defenders and winging passes in every direction in his 274th straight regular-season start. Now Favre is 5-0 for the first time in his career, 1-0 as a 40-year-old. "I hope there's many more to come," Favre said.

Visanthe Shiancoe compiled four receptions for 49 yards and a touchdown in the Week 5 victory over St. Louis.
Our View: The end zone is become a familiar place for Shiancoe, who has scored in three of the last four weeks. The four receptions represent a season-high total, and it's clear that Brett Favre is developing chemistry with the seven-year veteran.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer is reporting that Browns' defensive coordinator Rob Ryan called out Bills' quarterback Trent Edwards this week. After saying that Edwards is no Carson Palmer, Ryan continued by saying "He's not. Not too many quarterbacks are. The guy can run and do some things, but we've played Brett Favre, we've played Carson Palmer. Those are two pretty good quarterbacks right there. This guy [Edwards] always seems to have a lot to say."
Our View: Wow, big words coming from the defensive coordinator of an 0-4 team. Edwards can talk a bit, but nobody in the Browns' organization needs to be calling anyone else out. Ryan should think before he starts takin shots at anyone not on his own team.
