Kyle Boller put on a dazzling performance on a national stage and guided the Baltimore Ravens to a 48-3 rout of the Green Bay Packers on Monday night.
It was the low point of an awful season for the Packers (3-11), who absorbed their most lopsided loss since a 61-7 defeat at Chicago in 1980.
Boller was 19-of-27 for 253 yards and three touchdowns for the Ravens (5-9) before leaving with 8 minutes to go. There’s still no guarantee he will return as the starter next year, but for one night, he looked like a No. 1 draft pick.
Favre, meanwhile, struggled from the outset and finished 14-of-29 for 144 yards and two interceptions before being replaced by Aaron Rodgers late in the third quarter. The two interceptions gave him a career-high 24 for the season, and it marked the first time in his illustrious career that he has gone three straight starts without a touchdown pass.
Green Bay played the final three quarters without running back Samkon Gado, who left with a knee injury after gaining 45 yards on six carries.
