Only John Elway has produced more combeacks in NFL history than Green Bay's number four, who owns 40 in his illustrious career.

- No. 1: Sept. 20, 1992 against Cincinnati.  It became what's been called the "Birth of a Legend" and the first of 40 fourth-quarter or overtime comebacks in Favre's career.

When Packers starter Don Majkowski went down with a torn ligament in his ankle, Favre replaced him and played the remainder of the game.

He completed 22 of 39 passes, a subpar 56.4% completion percentage. He got sacked five times, fumbled the ball four times, and lost two fumbles.

But with one magical completion, a 35-yard touchdown pass to Kittrick Taylor with 13 seconds left to turn what was a 14-point deficit into a 24-23 win, Favre started cementing his place in NFL history.

- No. 7: January 8, 1994, the 1993 NFC Wildcard game at Detroit. Down 24-21, Brett chucked a pass 60 yards in the air to Sterling Sharpe for the game-winning 40-yard touchdown pass with 55 seconds left to produce a 28-24 win, the Packers first playoff playoff triumph in a non-strike year since Super Bowl II.

- No. 9: December 18, 1994, vs. Atlanta. In the last Packers game at Milwaukee County Stadium, without Sterling Sharpe who left the game due to injury, Favre led an Ice Bowl-like final drive. It ended with Brett scrambling to the right, running the ball against coach Mike Holmgren's wishes, and reaching the end zone with 14 seconds to go in a 21-17 win that elicited Jim Irwin's famous quote, "This kid has a heart about two foot-by-two foot."

- No. 10: November 12, 1995 vs. Chicago. Favre was doubtful to even play after suffering a sprained ankle the previous week in the "T.J. Rubley" game at Minnesota. But he had possibly the best day of his career: 25-33 for 336 yards and five touchdown passes without an interception. The final TD, to Edgar Bennett in the fourth quarter, delivered a 35-28 win that put the Packers in permanent possession of first place in the NFC Central.

- No. 11: October 14, 1996 vs. San Francisco. In a Monday Night game Favre described as the most physical he'd ever played in, he threw a career high 61 passes, and though he only completed 29 of them, Favre delivered Green Bay from 11 points down in the second half to a 23-20 overtime win.

Had the Packers not earned the victory, the 49ers would have owned home field advantage in the NFC playoffs, which could have greatly affected Green Bay's ability to claim the Super Bowl championship it eventually won.

Then, there was one magical stretch of 29 days in 1999: three game winning touchdown passes, all on Lambeau Field's hallowed grass, all in the final two minutes.

- No. 14: September 12, 1999 vs. Oakland. In the season opener, the Packers trailed the Raiders 24-14 with 6:41 left when Favre delivered a scoring pass to cut the deficit. Then, he got the football back, 82 yards from the end zone with 1:51 on the clock and no timeouts left.

He didn't need them.

Favre ended the drive with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Thomason with 11 seconds left, and he ended the day with a tearful press conference

- No. 15: September 26, 2999 vs. Minnesota. Again, Favre had 1:51 left to bring the Packers back from a 20-16 deficit. On this drive, he had a fourth down play with no time out available to him in the final seconds.

Favre simply sent every receiver on a "go" route, straight for the end zone, and found Corey Bradford for the game winner with 12 seconds left.

- No. 16: October 10, 1999 vs. Tampa Bay. For the third time, the Packers trailed 23-19 in the final minutes to the eventual NFC Central Champions. Favre led the Packers six plays in 40 seconds, and ended the 73-yard drive with a 21-yard end zone-bound rainbow to Antonio Freeman with 1:50 left that clinched a 26-23 win, eliciting Wayne Larrivee's "Thank God the miracles never cease here at Lambeau Field!"

But more miracles came:

- No. 19: November 6, 2000 vs. Minnesota. During a rainy Monday night overtime, Favre found Freeman again, this time on Antonio's famous "Improbable Bobble" that turned into a 43-yard game winning score for a 26-20 victory.

- No. 30: January 4, 2004, NFC Wildcard vs. Seattle.  A game Al Harris could have never won with his overtime pick-six without Favre's fourth-quarter heroics. Trailing 20-13 in the fourth quarter, Favre took the Packers on touchdown drives of 60 and 51 yards to give the Packers a 27-20 lead. Favre delivered 319 passing yards and a touchdown throw.

- No. 34: December 24, 2004 at Minnesota. With the NFC North championship at stake in hostilie territory, Favre led the Packers through a legendary game with six lead changes and five ties.

After a pick-six by Minnesota's Chris Claiborne gave the Vikings a 31-24 lead, Favre led the Packers on an 80-yard drive, ending it with a fourth-down scoring pass to Donald Driver with 3.34 left. Then, he led a 76-yard drive that ended the game with a 29-yard Ryan Longwell field goal that produced a 34-31 division-clinching win.

- No. 39: October 29, 2007 at Denver. In a city where the Packers had never won, in a week where Favre's arm strength had been challenged by a reporter, Favre threw an 82-yard scoring pass to Greg Jennings on the first play of overtime to defeat the Broncos, 19-13 - Favre's 39th comeback.

- No. 40: November 4, 2007 at Kansas City. In a contest with seven lead changes and 42 points scored in a 12:06 stretch of the second half, Brett Favre found Greg Jennings deep again for a 60-yard scoring throw with 3:05 left, his second game-winning bomb to Jennings in six days in a 33-22 triumph, Favre's 40th career comeback on the field.
