Favre connected with Sharpe on a 42-yard pass and three plays later, found Taylor for the game winning score. The legend of Brett Favre had just begun.

From Quiz The Life and Times of Brett Favre

Answer: Tyrone Braxton

Favre played much better than his counterpart John Elway, making 25/42 passes or 256 yards and three touchdowns to one interception. However, on Green Bay's second possession with the Packers leading 7-0, Braxton picked off Favre at the Packers' 45 yard line. The Broncos quickly stormed down the field to make it 7-7. The Broncos won the game 31-24, despite coming in as 11 point underdogs. Favre's gifting of a short field position to Denver so early in the game was perhaps the difference between Favre winning another Super Bowl and failing to do so.
