After week 11 in the National Football League, two teams maintain undefeated seasons.

Brett FavreBrett Favre, 40, however scored and scored and scored as he completed 22 of 25 passes, connecting on 4 for touchdowns and lead the Minnesota Vikings, now 9-1, to an easy 35-9 victory hosting the Seattle Seahawks.

"Getting back to that confidence that I had when I didn't know any better, that was pretty good.” The ex-Green Bay Packer said. “And I'm feeling more confident. I'm more of a realist at this age, but that doesn't mean you can't go out there and turn it loose."

For all the celebrating going on in New Orleans, the players have been measured in their jubilation.

"Let's face it, these are not the Jon GrudenJon Gruden-coached Tampa Bay Buccaneers that we're used to," New Orleans tight end Jeremy ShockeyJeremy Shockey said after the game. "No offense to Tampa. They're going to be good in time. But we know we can play better than we did."
