Brett Favre has played in two Super Bowls, and he led four teams in Green Bay that had 12 or 13 victories.
But after reaching 5-0 for the first time in his career Sunday, Favre suggested the 2009 Vikings may be truly special.
"I think physically and from a talent standpoint, this is the best team I've ever been on," said Favre, who completed 18 of 24 passes for 232 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. "I said from Day One it's all how it shakes out. You have to have a little luck. The injury bug is always a factor for everyone."
Favre acknowledged earlier in his press conference that "it's not how you start but how you finish."
But, he said the Vikings performance in a 38-10 victory over the previously winless St. Louis Rams was "average" compared to the team's other four games.
"We won that game today but we did not play our best football," he said .
"There's tremendous potential, but that alone will not win games for you."
Favre once again noted that he is as surprised as anyone to still be playing at 40 (his birthday was Saturday).
"God has been good to me, and I'm thankful for the opportunity," he said.
Favre called his interception -- his second of the season -- a "terrible play on my part."
Early in the second quarter, Favre forced a pass to receiver Bernard Berrian. The ball was easily picked off by Rams rookie linebacker James Laurinaitis.
"That's the plays that I can't make, first of all," Favre said.
