That "kid" Kurt Warner got the best of old-timer Brett Favre on Sunday night.

Warner, a mere 38 to Favre's 40, threw for 285 yards and three touchdowns and the Arizona Cardinals' defense stifled Favre and the Minnesota Vikings in a stunningly one-sided 30-17 victory.

"They played like they were in the Super Bowl last year," Favre said, "and we obviously
have to play better if we want to be the team that's in the Super Bowl this year."
