Two weeks after tearing a knee ligament in a victory over Washington, the quarterback Favre extended the longest active streak in the NFL by making his 165th consecutive regular season start. But he took a back seat to a defence that forced four turnovers. The linebacker Nate Wayne forced a fumble, recovered another and had an interception. Darren Sharper helped out, returning an interception 89 yards for a score to seal Green Bay's seventh straight victory.
The Packers (8-1) have the best record in the NFL, but the Dolphins (5-3) lost their third straight game and had their lead in the AFC East trimmed to one-half game over Buffalo (5-4).
