GREEN BAY, Wis. — Brett Favre goes out of his way to say he cares about winning, not going after records.

He managed to do both at the same time yesterday.

Favre found Greg Jennings on a slant pattern for the record-tying 420th touchdown pass of his career.

The 57-yard completion erased a four-point deficit to the San Diego Chargers with just over two minutes left and rallied the Packers (3-0) to a 31-24 win. Favre is now tied with Dan Marino for the most touchdown passes in NFL history.

"I could care less about the record," said Favre, who was 28 of 35 for 369 yards and three touchdowns. "Everyone's over there celebrating, cheering and congratulating me and I said look, this will mean nothing if we don't win this game."

Favre's 38th career fourth-quarter comeback came one series after the Chargers defense stopped Favre and the Packers cold on fourth-and-goal.

However, the Chargers (1-2) gave up the record-tying touchdown minutes later, continuing their early slide under new coach Norv Turner. San Diego has now lost as many regular season games as it did all of last season.

Reigning MVP LaDainian Tomlinson swallowed hard as he stepped to the interview podium after the game, at a loss for words to describe the disappointing start.

"It's still a long season," said Tomlinson, who carried 22 times for 62 yards. "But I mean, right now we just — I don't know. I'm lost."

Suddenly facing heightened expectations in Green Bay, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said he expects more from Favre in the weeks to come.

"Every time he takes the field, he's adding another log on the fire of such a brilliant career that will continue to burn, hopefully, for a while," McCarthy said.

Marino said it was only fitting Favre tied the record in a come-from-behind win.

"To tie the record in that fashion, you have to feel good for him since he's such a great competitor," said Marino, now an analyst for CBS TV.

Favre's fireworks also spoiled a breakout game for Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, who started 15 for 15 to tie Dan Fouts' franchise record for consecutive completions and drove the Chargers to the lead in the third quarter.

Rivers was 27 of 36 for 306 yards, with three touchdowns and a late interception. He and Tomlinson had a heated exchange on the sidelines in the third quarter.

"It appears to be like we're arguing, but it wasn't really arguing, it was competitive talk," Tomlinson said.

San Diego took a 21-17 lead early in the third quarter on a swing pass from Rivers that Tomlinson ran 21 yards to the end zone.

Favre and the Packers threatened with a drive with just over five minutes left in the fourth quarter, but San Diego's defense stopped wide receiver James Jones short on third-and-goal. Favre then threw incomplete on fourth down.

In hindsight, McCarthy said he should have had Jones' play reviewed.

On the next possession, after an incompletion on first down, Favre zipped a pass to Jennings who was running a slant pattern from the left side. Jennings streaked into the end zone to give the Packers the lead, and give Favre yet another piece of history.

"He has many more records he has to go get, so we're going to try to get him all those," Jennings said.

Packers linebacker Nick Barnett intercepted Rivers on the Chargers' next possession, and ran 38 yards to the San Diego 2. Brandon Jackson went in for a touchdown from the 1, putting the Packers ahead 31-21.

The Chargers drove for a 44-yard field goal by Nate Kaeding to cut the lead to 7 with 20 seconds left, but Donald Driver covered the onside kick attempt to preserve the victory.
