MIAMI (AP) - Brett Favre hardly looked like the retiring type, raising his arms to signal a touchdown, then leaping and skipping to the bench, where he vaulted into the arms of two teammates.

Six months after Favre decided to call it a career before changing his mind, he made a successful debut with his new team as Broadway Brett, throwing for two scores to help the New York Jets beat the Miami Dolphins 20-14 on Sunday.

Favre's new beginning had a happy ending thanks to two late stands by the Jets' defense. Favre finished 15-for-22 for 194 yards and his 161st victory, extending his NFL record for starting quarterbacks.

Chad Pennington couldn't quite complete a fourth quarter comeback in first start with the Miami Dolphins. Pennington tossed an interception in the endzone with :05 left.

Pennington ended the game completing 26 of 43 passes. He threw two touchdowns in the loss.
