Whoever had Brett Favre and Sterling Sharpe in fantasy leagues were pretty happy this week. Four scoring strikes between the prolific Green Bay pair put this one well beyond doubt by half-time. Even two scoring strikes from Craig Erickson to the emerging rookie Horace Copeland couldn't salvage much face in this game.
