Favre to visit McNabb for QB dual

The Green Bay Packers (1-2) will play the Eagles (2-1) at Philadelphia?s Lincoln Financial Field Monday night for an exciting match between two teams that though they are not excelling in the standings, are playing tremendous offense. The two teams will meet for the fourth straight season.

Donovan McNabb, healthy and back on the field after missing the final seven games last year, is in his eighth pro year. Brett Favre is in his 16th season playing professional football, all but his first year wearing the Packers` green and yellow uniform. They both have had strong numbers so far this season, McNabb with a pair of 300-yard passing games and a total of 960 yards and 7 touchdowns, and Favre with 850 yards and 6 TDs.

On the defensive end, Green Bay has given up a number of big plays this season. Several lapses in its secondary have yielded 37 and 42 yard TD scores last week against Detroit. Still, the team won the game, behind Favre`s 340 yards and Jennings` 101 receiving yards. We are sure to receive a high scoring game tonight.
