SAN DIEGO (AP) -- A week after their misadventure in Denver, Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers were sensational at sea level.

	Packers cornerback Fred Vinson leaps in front of Freddie Jones for one of Green Bay's six interceptions.

Favre threw three touchdown passes and the Packers secondary, tired of hearing all that talk about San Diego's tough defense, had six interceptions as Green Bay humiliated the Chargers 31-3 on Sunday. Green Bay (4-2) won for the first time in three road games.

"We laid an egg a week ago and everyone on this team was challenged to play the type of football that's acceptable," said Packers coach Ray Rhodes, who snapped a personal 18-game road winless streak that dated back to his stint with the Eagles.

The Chargers felt a lot like the Packers after they were humbled 31-10 at Denver.

"I'm choking on my pride right now," said starting quarterback Erik Kramer, whose three interceptions set up Packers touchdowns and sent him to the bench after three quarters.

"It's an embarrassing loss," added Jim Harbaugh, who replaced Kramer and promptly threw three more interceptions.

In the Denver loss, Favre was 7-for-23 for 120 yards with three interceptions. Against the Chargers (4-2), who were shakier than usual on pass coverage because of injuries, Favre was an efficient 12-for-22 for 173 yards, with one interception.

"I played just like I did last week," Favre said. "But I'm sure people will say that it sure didn't look like it.

GAME NOTES

The crowd of 68,274, heavy with Packers fans, set a Chargers regular-season record. The Chargers haven't allowed a 100-yard rusher in 25 consecutive games, a stat that hardly matters when teams can pass on them as easily as the Packers did. Chargers running back Natrone Means sprained his left knee in the first quarter but returned. He gained only 28 yards on 12 carries. Erik Kramer is 2-7 as a starter against the Packers, including seven consecutive losses.

"I don't know if I was any more anxious than I always am. As I said last week, if you play in this league long enough, you'll have games where you can't do anything."

After Kramer threw his third interception, Favre put it away by leading a 99-yard, 14-play drive. A three-yard TD pass to Antonio Freeman made it 28-3 with three seconds left in the third quarter.

Dorsey Levens, who scored in the second quarter, gained 71 total yards on the long drive, including 25 on a swing pass that got the ball to the Chargers 5.

The Packers were so in control that Favre was replaced with 9:42 left by Matt Hasselbeck, who got his first snaps from scrimmage. In their first three wins, the Packers needed touchdown passes from Favre in the closing seconds.

Favre's injured right thumb, according to Rhodes, was bruised and slightly bleeding. "He could still grip a football," Rhodes said. "He was able to finish the game, but I wanted to see Matt get some work."

Favre, who said his thumb was OK, called the defense "sensational."

"We had six picks and great field position. What more could you ask for? It was just up to us to convert."

The Chargers were brutal in flunking their first big test under first-year coach Mike Riley. They lost sole possession of first place in the AFC West and had their three-game winning streak ended.

It got so bad that after Kramer fumbled the snap and recovered midway through the third quarter, the fans started chanting "Harbaugh! Harbaugh!" Five plays later, after moving the Chargers to the Packers 10, Kramer was intercepted by Tyrone Williams at the 1 to set up the 99-yard scoring drive.

Harbaugh came in, all right, but his first pass was intercepted by Williams. Darren Sharper and Antuan Edwards finished off the six-pickoff day, with Sharper's interception setting up Ryan Longwell's 46-yard field goal with 1:54 left.

Harbaugh hadn't played since cracking two ribs Oct. 3, so Riley tried to stay with Kramer "until it got painfully obvious to everybody that we just needed to give Jim a shot. Perhaps it was too long."

Kramer and Harbaugh have combined for 14 interceptions in six games, one more than at this point last year by then-rookie Ryan Leaf and Craig Whelihan.

"Interceptions are contagious," said Sharper, who made all the highlight shows when he couldn't prevent Denver's Ed McCaffrey from scoring on a 78-yard play the previous week.

Sharper said San Diego's reputation as a tough defense is well-deserved. But, he added, "We want to show that we are a great defense, too."

The Chargers got little pressure on Favre, and All-Pro linebacker Junior Seau was a non-factor with only two tackles.

The Packers ran just 19 plays in the first half, yet took a 14-3 lead. Overall, they ran 30 fewer plays than the Chargers and gained 295 yards to San Diego's 303.

Kramer was intercepted twice in the span of three plays, by Mike McKenzie and Fred Vinson, setting up Favre's 7-yard TD pass to fullback William Henderson and a 6-yard TD run by Levens.

Favre's other TD pass was a 6-yarder to Bill Schroeder in the third quarter, set up by a 44-yard pass-interference call on Terrance Shaw.

San Diego's John Carney kicked a 28-yard field goal late in the second quarter.

Kramer was 18-for-36 for 161 yards, and Harbaugh went 7-for-18 for 78 yards.
