The Packers dropped 43 passes, 18 more than a year ago and their highest total since 2002.
Green had the poorest receiving season of his career with eight drops out of 63 targeted passes, giving him a team-worst drop rate of 12.7%. He dropped 24 passes from 2000-'02 but only six from 2003-'05.
The best drop rate was turned in by Noah Herron, who dropped one of 35 (2.9%). He was followed by Driver, six of 170 (career-low 3.5%); Greg Jennings, five of 103 (4.9%); Ruvell Martin, three of 43 (7%); David Martin, three in 35 (8.6%); Franks, six of 53 (11.3%); and Lee, five of 22 (22.7%).
Henderson, who hadn't dropped a pass since the 2003 playoffs, dropped two of 17 (11.8%). Morency dropped one of 17 (5.9%).
Of Favre's 18 touchdown passes, only two went to tight ends and none after Week 7. He didn't have a TD pass in five games. In the final eight games his seven TD passes included substantial throws of 82, 48, 20, 36 and 68 yards. All but a 36-yarder to Ruvell Martin went to Driver.
Favre's total of 18 interceptions, down from 29 in 2005, broke down like this: His average release time of 3.05 seconds was the highest since 2001; his picks set up 41 points, exactly half of the '05 total (82); nine came out of the shotgun, one on a one-step drop, three on a three-step drop, four on a five-step drop and one on a bootleg; a total of 14 were judged to be his fault, with Jennings next in responsibility with 1 1/2; a total of 11 came with the Packers behind and one came with the score tied; nine occurred in enemy territory, including four in the red zone; a total of 11 came with at least three receivers split wide; just two came against blitzes; and a total of 13 came in the second half.
