According to a report from Fox Sports' Jay Glazer, former Packers quarterback Brett Favre helped the Detroit Lions prepare for their matchup with the Packers on September 14.

It's a game the Packers still won, 48-25.

"Favre called the Detroit Lions, starting off with (now former Lions GM) Matt Millen," said Glazer on "FOX NFL Sunday."

"Millen then put him in touch with the coaching staff and gave the coaching staff like an hour or a 90-minute dissertation, every single thing that the Green Bay Packers do on offense.

"It's his former team.  He's calling a division opponent of a team he has nothing to do with any more and just lets loose all the family secrets.  How about that?"

A Packers pro bowler chimed in about the subject Sunday.

"If he sought that ought, there's no respecting that to me," said Charles Woodson about the subject following the Packers' 34-14 win over the Colts.

"Obviously he still thinks about it.  That's a good thing."

According to the report, such an action is not against NFL rules.
