(My Sportsbook) - Brett Favre will make his 166th consecutive start when his team takes on the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field on Sunday. Last Monday night, Favre played despite a sore left knee and completed 16-of-25 passes for 187 yards with a touchdown and an interception. His prime-time heroics led the Packers to a 24-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins.

"[Favre] came out quite well," said head coach Mike Sherman, whose club has won six straight games. "He was limping right at the end of the half, but a lot of that had to do with when you play with a brace. The knee cramped up on him just a little bit. But it didn't seem like he was any worse off at the end of the game than he was at the beginning of the game, so I'd say he came out in pretty good shape. We got the win."

Favre, who has been hobbled by the knee injury he suffered three weeks ago, heads up a Green Bay offense that averages 28.4 points per game. He has been cautious since suffering the injury, but it hasn't affected his performance on the field.

"It's not too bad," said Favre talking about his knee. "It's a little stiff, [but] I survived. The brace hindered me a little bit, but I knew it would. But overall it served its purpose."

Detroit better pray for a warm front to move into Wisconsin this weekend because Favre is 32-0 at home when the temperature at kickoff is 34 degrees or because Favre is 32-0 at home when the temperature at kickoff is 34 degrees or below.

The offense, which averages 365.5 yards per game, is led by the savvy Favre, but he is helped a lot by the efforts of RB Ahman Green. Green has been a tremendous asset to the Packers' offense both as a running back (712 yards, five touchdowns) and as a receiver (29 catches, 228 yards, two touchdowns).

Favre has also found success throwing to his wide receivers this season. Newcomer Terry Glenn has been a bit of a disappointment, but Donald Driver has emerged as the team's leading receiver. Driver has already caught 35 passes for 587 yards and five touchdowns. But Sherman believes Driver's success is a result of defenses keying on Glenn.

"This offense is not about highlighting one receiver," Sherman said. "Once you highlight and force-feed a receiver, a team can take that player away and everything you put into that one player is not allowed in that game."

TURNOVER FRENZY

The Packers' defense had a fabulous game on Monday night versus Miami. Ed Donatell's defense forced Miami into four turnovers and it also scored a touchdown when safety Darren Sharper returned an interception 89 yards for a score. The defense also registered four sacks in the contest, including 2.5 by defensive end Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila.

"We're making turnovers and big plays every chance we get. That's a sign of a good defense, and an opportunistic defense," said Sharper, who now has four interceptions on the year. "We just keep working. It started when all the backups came in and started making plays. They really showed us the way. We're just trying to keep things up and going in the right direction."

NOT A HOLLIDAY

The defense received a spark last week as defensive end Vonnie Holliday returned to the lineup after recovering from pectoral muscle tear. While his play was hampered by a brace that was worn to protect him from aggravating the injury, he still managed two tackles and made his presence felt.

"I'm used to being able to bench-press a guy off of me and throw him around a little bit, but I was unable to do that" Holliday said. "I'm going to have to come up with new, creative ways to play the game. In one aspect, it's kind of fun doing that. But at the same time, my rugged style of play that I'm used to, I can't get away with that right now."

Holliday won't have to worry about the brace this week. He is expected to miss the next two-to-five weeks after having surgery due to a meniscus tear in his right knee, an injury he suffered in the Miami game. Rookie Aaron Kampman will replace Holliday in the starting lineup.

"It's hard to deal with the loss of a player like Vonnie, but we have experienced some games without him obviously and have been OK," Sherman said. "The emergence of Aaron Kampman certainly has helped us deal with this."
