Brett Favre has had quite an emotional two games, beating the San Francisco 49ers on a last-second pass, followed by a stirring victory over his former club, the Green Bay Packers. Here are some Outside the Huddle shots of Favre from those games. And, yeah, his Breast Cancer Awareness sneakers were a hit with the kids.

Even in defeat, Donald Driver could appreciate what the grizzled Favre has accomplished with the undefeated Vikings, just days shy of his 40th birthday.

Hall of Fame linebacker and current San Francisco coach Mike Singletary gave Favre his props too, shortly after Favre's 32-yard touchdown pass handed the 49ers their only loss.

The old man still needs to take a breather or two, but no one can argue with the results thus far this season.

If Sage Rosenfels has any animosity toward Favre arriving late to take over the starting quarterback role, you sure can't tell.

Favre's offensive line has surrended nine sacks this season while Aaron Rodgers, his successor in Green Bay, has been nailed a league-high 20 times.

Favre could be mowing his grass and watching the NFL on tv at his home in Mississippi, instead he's celebrating last-second victories and adding to his Hall of Fame career.
