EIGHT-TIME PRO BOWL SELECTION (1992-93, 1995-97, 2001-03)
A certain first-ballot Hall of
Famer, Brett Favre in 2007
embarks upon his 16th season in his adopted city of
Green Bay…Among the
most exciting players in pro
football annals ever to line up
at quarterback, Favre, now in his 17th NFL campaign,
stands as one of the game’s most productive signal
callers…The league’s all-time leader in pass completions (5,021), ranks second in passing yards (57,500),
attempts (8,224) and touchdowns (414), all behind the
prolific Dan Marino…With 147 victories as quarterback,
ranks tied for second behind John Elway (148), with
Marino (147)…Celebrated even more than his prodigious numbers is his legendary durability…Upon taking
over the reins as the Green and Gold’s signal caller Sept.
20, 1992, has started the ensuing 237 contests, a record
for NFL quarterbacks and, astoundingly,
the third-longest recorded streak in league
annals…During 15 campaigns under center for Green Bay, has led Packers to 10
postseason appearances, including six division crowns,
three NFC Championship Games, two Super Bowls and
a World Championship with a victory in Super Bowl
XXXI…The former Southern Mississippi leader’s success is partially attributed to a commanding knowledge
of his offense, astute observation of countless defenses
designed to stop him and physical ability – especially
renowned arm strength…But his legacy transcends the
passes, the touchdowns and the statistics: the inspiring
leader will go down as one of the most beloved players
of his generation…The swashbuckling Southerner
embodies the heart of America’s favorite game…Stands
as one of the most respected players among his peers
and coaches, as well.
PRO
CAREER
is hard-working approach and down-to-earth
attitude appeals to football fans across the
nation…Favre once again topped the Harris
Poll, in a survey of American sports fans, as
the nation’s favorite football player in 2006 and placed
third among all sports figures, behind Tiger Woods and
Michael Jordan…The quarterback earlier topped the
2003 and ’04 Harris Polls and placed second to the
Colts’ Peyton Manning in ’05…In another measure of
his popularity, in 2006 he ranked first among active NFL
players in Sports QScore, a prominent rating survey
conducted for marketing and advertising purposes;
overall he trailed only Woods and Jordan…His legendary grit was saluted twice recently as well…In
February 2004, he was named as the No. 1 'Toughest
Athlete in Sports' by USA Today…Then, transcending
sports, in the March 2004 issue of Men's Journal, he
was chosen as the No. 1 'Toughest Guy in America' on
the basis of his “fearlessness, perseverance, a willingness to take risk, a tolerance for pain and even a dash of
modesty”…In further similar documentation, a 2005
nationwide vote of more than a half-million viewers for
The Discovery Channel’s special, ‘100 Greatest
Americans,’ ranked Favre No. 89.
H
CONSISTENTLY ONE OF THE BEST
At the top of his game throughout his career, he is one
of the most worthy adversaries for defensive coordinators…As recently as 2004, helped the Packers to estab-
The NFL's only three-time Associated
Press MVP (1995-97).
Has started 237 consecutive games
(257 including playoffs), the Packers
franchise record, the longest stretch
ever by an NFL quarterback and the
…
league’s third-longest streak ever
recorded among all positions.
Already regarded as the most durable quarterback of all time,
in 2007 can establish himself as both the winningest and
most prolific passer ever.
Needs two wins (John Elway, 148), seven TD passes (Dan
Marino, 420), 136 passing attempts (Marino, 8,358) and
3,862 passing yards (Marino, 61,361) to capture the respective all-time records in football’s major passing categories.
Ranks as the NFL’s all-time leader in pass completions
(5,021).
By playing this year, his 16th season in a Packers uniform,
will match Bart Starr (1956-71) for most in franchise history.
Possesses a 40-5 home record including playoffs when the
kickoff temperature is 34 or below; owns an impressive 90.7
passer rating in those contests.
First NFL completion was to…himself, the quarterback snaring his own deflected aerial for minus-7 yards in contest at
Tampa Bay Sept. 13, 1992.
Established the 'Brett Favre Fourward Foundation’ in 1996; in
conjunction with his annual golf tournament, celebrity softball
game and fundraising dinners, foundation has donated more
than $3 million to charities in his home state of Mississippi as
well as to those in his adopted state of Wisconsin.
Favre Fourward Foundation in 2005 took on an additional
cause as a supporter of Hurricane Katrina relief; the effort
raised approximately $1 million to assist in the state of
Mississippi’s three Gulf Coast counties: Hancock, Harrison
and Jackson.
His high school, Hancock North Central (Kiln, Miss.), honored
him in May 2004 by renaming its field, ‘Brett Favre Field,’ and
unveiling a life-sized statue of the quarterback at the stadium’s entrance. The school previously had retired his jersey
(No. 10) in 1993.
at a glance
lish all-time franchise records for total net yards (6,357),
net yards passing (4,449), first downs (354) and completions (382) as Green Bay finished third among NFL
offenses; his output included a combination of 4,000plus yards and 30 TDs, the third such season in his distinguished career…Selected as an alternate for the 2004
Pro Bowl, his eight Pro Bowl selections are one short of
Forrest Gregg's team record, nine.
AMONG ALL-TIME GREATS
Long considered one of the NFL’s best ever, ranks high
on a number of the league’s all-time lists…Over the
course of 2006, extended three other NFL records and
established another…He padded three streaks: seasons
with at least 300 completions (15), seasons with at least
3,000 yards passing (15) and consecutive starts by a
quarterback (237)…Extended another all-time mark
with 3,000 yards in a 15th overall season…Plus, finished 2006 with 5,021 career completions, more than
any NFL passer ever, surpassing Marino (4,967) in
2006…One year earlier, swiped Elway's single-stadium
TD pass record (180 at Mile High Stadium), improving
his Lambeau Field total in 2006 to 195…Is one of only
four quarterbacks in league history to post as many as
four 4,000-yard seasons (also doing so in 1995, '98-99);
Marino (6), Peyton Manning (7) and Warren Moon (4)
are the others…With three 300-yard passing performances in 2006, now has 48 such career outings – tops

berths, including a club-record six in a row (1993-98),

three straight NFC Central Division crowns (1995-97),
the award three times, let alone in three consecutive
three NFC North Division titles in a row (2002-04), three
years…Incomparability of the strong-armed Southerner

1997) and back-to-back Super Bowl appearances,

WILL FINISH AS A PACKER
Will finish his career in Green Bay after signing a “lifetime” contract on March 1, 2001…Then-head coach
Mike Sherman, calling the signing day “historic,” commented on the uniqueness of Favre's relationship with
the Packers' organization and fans, saying, “No player in
the NFL identifies, or is more closely linked to, a specific team like Brett Favre is to the Green Bay Packers. He
embodies the spirit and character of Packer fans everywhere. I do not think there is a player in the NFL that
experiences a relationship with the fans like Brett Favre
does. That is very, very special.”…Favre echoed the sentiment, saying, “I enjoy it here. I don't want to move. I
enjoy the fans and I just want to stay. I couldn't envision
myself playing for another team.”
A WINNER
Throughout his career, has disdained talk of statistics,
concerning himself most with his team’s victories…And
in 2007, can assert himself as the NFL’s winningest
quarterback ever; enters with 147 wins, needing only
one to break a tie with No. 2 Marino (147) and two to
bypass all-time leader Elway (148)…From 1992-2004,
won at least eight games an NFL-record 13 consecutive

Only about half the NFL teams publish consecutive starts in

Brett Favre is the only athlete in the four major sports to
have started every game for the same team since Sept. 27,
1992.
Excluding the NFL, Cal Ripken Jr. and
Lou Gehrig are the only athletes in major
sports history to start every game for their
teams over a span of at least 13 seasons.
Ripken started all 2,632 games of his
streak, from 1982-1998, and Gehrig started every Yankees contest from July 1925
until his illness in 1939.
Gehrig
Because of frequent lineup changes and
numerous variables, the National Hockey
League does not recognize consecutive
starts streaks. The record for most consecutive games played with the same team
belongs to Steve Larmer (Chicago
Blackhawks, 884 games, 1982-93).
No one in National Basketball Association
history has completed 10 consecutive
Ripken
years of starting with the same team. A.C.
Green holds the record for most consecutive games played with 1,192 (1986-2001). Green played for
four teams over that span.

ries, doing so in his 153rd career start; only Joe
Montana (139) and Terry Bradshaw (147) got to the century mark quicker over the past 37 seasons…Since his
first year as a starter in 1992, holds a 46-17 record
(.730) in regular-season games in December, the fourthbest mark among NFL starters who have begun their
careers since 1970 (min. 20 starts); Tom Brady (.840,
21-4), Joe Theismann (.773, 17-5) and Montana (.767,
33-10) rank just ahead in December winning percentage…Owns 36 career fourth-quarter or overtime comebacks (which includes three postseason contests)…A
game conductor of the highest caliber, has led the
Packers to a nearly perfect 54-2 regular-season record
since 1992 in games where they have more rushing
attempts than passing attempts.
DOMINANTLY DURABLE
As indestructable as football players come, has started
an NFL-quarterback-record 237 consecutive regularseason contests (257 including playoffs) – 93 games
(equivalent of better than five-and-a-half seasons) more
than the next closest streak among league QBs all-time,
144 by Manning (1998-2006)…Only six active veterans
across the league — all kickers — have played as many
or more games than Favre (241): Morten Andersen
(368), Jeff Feagles (304), John Carney (261), Matt
Stover (255), Chris Gardocki (244) and Junior Seau
(also 241)…Played much of the 2003 season with a broken thumb on his right (throwing) hand…In 2006 surpassed Hall of Famer Bruce Matthews (229, 1987-2001)
for the third-longest recorded starting streak of all-time,
and now trails only two former Vikings, Mick Tinglehoff
(240, 1962-78) and Jim Marshall (270, 196179)…Actually has played in 239 consecutive regularseason contests, having seen action in two contests as
a reserve leading into his starting streak…Twelve more
signal callers made their initial NFL starts in 2006,
meaning that a total of 202 league quarterbacks have
opened a game since Favre began his starting streak
Sept. 27, 1992…Furthermore, he is the only athlete in
the four major sports to have started every game for the
same team since Sept. 27, 1992, having been presented
his opportunity the previous week when Don Majkowski
suffered strained ligaments in his left ankle midway
through the first quarter of Cincinnati contest…During
his remarkable run, 17 different quarterbacks have
served as his backup in Green Bay; chronologically, they
are Majkowski (1992), Ty Detmer (1992-95), Mark
Brunell (1993-94), T.J. Rubley (1995), Bob Gagliano
(1995), Doug Pederson (1995-98, 2001-04), Jim
McMahon (1995-96), Steve Bono (1997), Rick Mirer
(1998), Matt Hasselbeck (1999-2000), Aaron Brooks
(1999), Danny Wuerffel (2000), Henry Burris (2001),
Craig Nall (2002-05), Aaron Rodgers (2005-06), Ingle
Martin (2006) and Todd Bouman (2006); only six times
over the course of his streak has a backup had to complete a game due to injury – Oct. 20, 1994, at Minnesota
(hip), when Brunell wrapped up the contest; Nov. 5,
124
VETERAN PLAYERS
1995, at Minnesota (ankle), when Detmer subbed in
before injuring his thumb and giving way to Rubley; Nov.
12, 2000, at Tampa Bay (ankle), when Hasselbeck was
called upon to finish the game; Oct. 20, 2002, vs.
Washington (knee), when Pederson completed the contest; Oct. 3, 2004, vs. the New York Giants (concussion),
when Pederson took over before suffering a rib injury
and Nall finished the game; and Nov. 19, 2006, vs. New
England (elbow), when Rodgers played the final 32 minutes and sustained a season-ending broken foot.
’04 season…Now holds 30 team records, among them
career touchdowns (414), pass attempts (8,219), completions (5,021) and yards passing (57,500)…Has now
played 15 seasons with Green Bay, tying No. 2 Ray
Nitschke (15; 1958-72), and is expected to join Starr
(16; 1956-71) in 2007 for the most in franchise
annals…Began his streak of 239 straight games played
with second-half, mop-up duty in a 1992 loss to the
Buccaneers, then replaced the injured Majkowski the
next week against Cincinnati, leading Green Bay to a
come-from-behind victory, before initiating his amazing
streak of 237 consecutive starting assignments vs.
Pittsburgh on Sept. 27, 1992.
TOUCHDOWN PRODUCER
COLD WEATHER EXCELLENCE
Born and raised in the South, goes against conventional
wisdom by performing well in the cold…At home, now
holds a 40-5 record including playoffs when the kickoff
temperature is 34 degrees or below; possesses an
impressive 90.7 passer rating in those 45 cold-weather
games, based on 890 completions in 1,441 attempts
(61.8 percent) for 10,242 yards, 79 TDs and 37 INTs.
PLAYOFFS
In the postseason, has thrown a touchdown pass in an
NFL-record 16 consecutive games (1995-2004)…Ranks
second on the NFL's all-time list for postseason touchdown passes; his 34 places him behind only Montana
(45)…Ranks third all-time in postseason yards passing,
with 4,902; Elway (4,964) and Montana (5,772) are the
only players above him…Ranks second on NFL’s alltime postseason completions list (401) and third on the
attempts list (663)…Owns the club's all-time postseason record for service with 20 games played…Owner of
13 club postseason marks overall, while sharing in one.
2006 SEASON
ALL-TIME PACKERS
Ranks first in most seasons leading the team in yards
passing (15), having broken Bart Starr’s franchise
record (12) in 2004…Also is the club’s all-time leader
with 239 games played, passing Starr (196) during the
Extended a handful of NFL records,
captured a few others and finished
the year on the verge of several more, including some of
the most hallowed marks in league history…Played all
16 games for a 14th straight year, extending one of the
most prominent ironman starting streaks in pro sports
annals…Also, for the 14th time in those 15 seasons, had
his team at least in contention for a playoff berth heading into the season finale…With a career-high 613 pass
attempts, led the league for a second straight year, joining Blanda (1963-65) as one of two passers to pace the
NFL multiple times after their 36th birthdays…Including
1999, when his 595 passes led the NFL, also joined
Arnie Herber (1932, 1934, 1936) as one of two Green
Bay passers to pace the league in attempts for three
overall seasons…Completed 56.0 percent of his passes
(343-for-613), including 18 touchdowns, his fewest
since his first year as the Packers’ starter, 1992, when he
also had 18 (in the interim, his 12 straight years with 20or-more TDs remains the league record)…Also threw 18
interceptions, trimming his 2005 total by 11, the best
improvement of his career…Became the NFL’s all-time
leader in pass completions, in addition to extending his

Highly productive in firing touchdown passes, enters
2007 with 414 career, only seven from breaking
Marino’s NFL standard, 420…In 2006 he ended an NFLrecord string of 12 seasons (1994-2005) with at least 20
TD passes…In 2004, he extended his own NFL record
with his eighth career season of 30-or-more touchdown
passes – twice as many as any other quarterback in
league history (Marino, with four, stands second)…As
recently as 2004, finished fourth in the NFL in TD passes, behind the Colts’ Manning (49), the Vikings’ Daunte
Culpepper (39) and the Eagles’ Donovan McNabb
(31)…Also that season stretched his streak of consecutive games with a touchdown pass to 36 games – a franchise record and the second-longest streak in league
history, behind only the 47-game string of Johnny
Unitas (1956-60); string ended Dec. 5, 2004, at
Philadelphia…In 2006, became the first in league annals
to record 11 career passes of 75 yards-or-more; first
tied the exclusive group of five passers (George Blanda,
Ed Brown, Len Dawson, Sonny Jurgensen and Norm
Snead) — the first to join the club in three decades —
before his 11th such pass broke the record seven weeks
later…Has authored 19 games of at least four TD passes, good for second place in NFL history behind only
Marino (21)…Now has 56 career games with three-ormore TD passes, second to only Marino (62) in NFL history…With 195 career TD passes at Lambeau Field, the
NFL record for a single stadium, has 15 more than the
next-closest mark, Elway’s 180 at Mile High
Stadium…In road games, has 202 career TDs, more
than any passer ever, breaking Marino’s record (197) in
2006…Has 25 TD passes at Chicago’s Soldier Field,
owning sole possession of fourth on that stadium’s alltime list, behind three Bears quarterbacks: Erik Kramer
(38), McMahon (37) and Jim Harbaugh (28)…Has 52
career TD passes against the Bears, the third most alltime by a QB against an opponent…Owns NFL record
(since 1970) for most consecutive games with a TD pass
vs. a single opponent by throwing for a score in 26
straight games against the Bears (19922004)…Dependable in his production of scoring strikes,
has thrown for at least one TD in 203 of his 239 career
games with Green Bay, failing to do so in only 26 games
since the start of the 1995 season.

…On three occasions, captured ‘FedEx Air NFL Player of
the Week’ — after spirited victories in Week 3 at Detroit,
Week 10 at Minnesota and Week 17 at Chicago…Made
his 14th career start in a season opener, vs. Chicago
(Sept. 10) and was shut out, 26-0, for the first time he
could recall at any level of football (including 1987-90 at
Southern Mississippi); his 222 starts without a shutout
had been the most in NFL history, a distinction that
reverted back to Steve DeBerg (140)…Against New
Orleans (Sept. 17), connected with Greg Jennings on a
22-yard touchdown, hitting the rookie receiver in stride
on a perfect pass…Gave the Packers an early lead in an
eventual 31-24 triumph at Detroit (Sept. 24), finding
Jennings on a short route across the middle, a play that
turned into a 75-yard touchdown, the 400th TD pass of
the quarterback’s decorated career…In the third quarter
of Lions contest, led an 80-yard, 10-play drive; completed four passes for 51 yards on the march, including a
24-yard strike to Koren Robinson on third-and-7, and
found Donald Driver in the end zone for a 5-yard
TD…For his flawless play in Lions win, earned ‘NFC
Offensive Player of the Week,’ ‘FedEx Air NFL Player of
the Week,’ NBC ‘Football Night in America Player of the
Day’ and ‘CBS/Westwood One Radio Amtrak Player of
the Week’…In 23-20 setback vs. St. Louis (Oct. 8), for
the first time in his career lost in a start at Lambeau Field
in which he did not throw an interception; was 39-0 (430 including playoffs) entering the Rams contest…At
Miami (Oct. 22), threw a perfect 34-yard strike to Driver
between two defenders, a play ruled incomplete until
officials overturned the call on Green Bay’s replay challenge; reacted to the announcement by twirling Driver on
his shoulders; put the game out of reach in the fourth
quarter, hitting David Martin for 13-yard score…The win
at Dolphin Stadium gave him victories in 28 stadiums…Surpassed 25,000 Lambeau Field passing yards
in memorable 31-14 triumph vs. Arizona (Oct. 29);
threw for 180 yards and a TD, for a passer rating of
102.1…Ran in a 1-yard score in Cardinals contest, his
first rushing touchdown since Dec. 3, 2001, followed by
his first ever Lambeau Leap…In the fourth quarter
against Arizona, became only the second player in
league annals to throw for 25,000 yards in a single stadium; with 25,765 at Lambeau Field entering ‘07, he
trails only Elway (27,889, Mile High Stadium)…At
Minnesota (Nov. 12), completed 24 of 42 passes for a
season-high 347 yards and two touchdowns, a 100.0
passer rating, and surpassed No. 3 Matthews (229,
1987-2001) on the league’s all-time list of longest
recorded games streaks…In the closing minutes of the
first half at the Metrodome, connected with Driver on a
82-yard catch-and-run, giving Green Bay a 17-14 lead;
then, on a 10-play, fourth-quarter drive that melted the
clock and put the game out of reach, was 6-for-8 for 69
yards…His 82-yarder was the team’s longest passing
play since Favre hit Driver for an 84-yard touchdown,
Nov. 17, 2002, also in Minneapolis; the ‘06 play was the
fifth-longest of Favre’s career, a list that includes Driver
three times (also 85 at Chicago in 2002)…In tough loss
vs. New England (Nov. 19), left in the second quarter
with ulnar nerve damage in his right elbow and did not
complete a start due to injury for only the sixth time in
his then 231-game streak…In a snowy Monday night
loss at Seattle (Nov. 27), still with numbness in his passing arm and hand, threw for 266 yards, including a 48yard TD hookup with Driver…The following week vs. the
New York Jets (Dec. 3), found Driver for a 20-yard score,
the team’s only TD…In exciting, 30-19 win at San
Francisco (Dec. 10), completed 22 of 34 passes for 293
yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions; found
Ruvell Martin wide open in the end zone for a 36-yard
touchdown, and later, patiently waited in the pocket,
pump-faked and hit Driver at the San Francisco 33, then
watched the receiver weave the rest of the way for a TD
that gave the Packers a 24-13 advantage…Reached
3,000 yards passing in 49ers contest and extended two
NFL records: most overall seasons with 3,000 and most
consecutive seasons with 3,000 (both 15)…In 17-9 win
vs. Detroit (Dec. 17), with a 21-yard pass to Carlyle
Holiday late in the first half, became the NFL’s all-time
leader in pass completions, surpassing Marino
(4,967)…Four days later in rainy, 9-7 win vs. Minnesota
(Dec. 21), threw for 285 yards, including a 36-yard,
fourth-quarter strike to Ruvell Martin that set up Dave
Rayner’s 44-yard field goal and iced the 36th game-winning comeback of the quarterback’s career; on his last
pass of the night, became the first in NFL history to
reach 5,000 completions…Finished the season with a
fourth consecutive victory, a 285-yard, one TD performance at Chicago (Dec. 31), helping the Packers to a runaway 26-7 triumph.

more than the 51 he had in the previous two seasons
combined, thanks in part to his offseason regimen with
former Notre Dame strength and conditioning coach Ken
Kroener at Favre's Mississippi home…Also engineered

wiped out his childhood home in Kiln, Miss., along with
many of his personal trophies and awards, but more
importantly didn't claim the lives any of his numerous
family members on the Gulf Coast…Reached his mother, Bonita, with the help of a Houston TV station one day

Nashville for preseason finale (Sept. 1), then trucked
them to Mississippi…From the team's season-opening
roster, injuries struck two of his top three receivers, two
of his top three tight ends, all three of his running backs
(as well as a fourth) and his starting center…Placing the
mounting pressure firmly on his own shoulders, threw a
league-leading and career-high 29 interceptions and finished with a career-low 70.9 passer rating…Played without Javon Walker, his primary deep threat coming off a
career year, for all but the first 37 minutes of the season…Also lost No. 3 wideout Robert Ferguson for five
full games and parts of others, top running back Green
to a season-ending injury in Game 6, Green's backup
Najeh Davenport for the year in Game 5 and top tight end
Bubba Franks for six games… Completed passes to 18
players, two more than his previous career high (16 in
1998) and one shy of the team record, 19 in 1987, when
Green Bay used replacement players in three contests…Kicked off his 15th season at Detroit (Sept. 11);
was sacked four times in 17-3 loss and saw 75 yards in
offensive gains wiped out by penalties, including
Walker's third-quarter pass interference on a 55-yard
completion that ended the receiver's season (ACL) at the
Detroit 3-yard line…In 26-24 loss vs. Cleveland (Sept.
18), his 20-yard run in the second quarter was his
longest since 1999, when he also had a 20-yard
rush…With a completion to Green in Browns contest,
became the third ever to reach 50,000 career passing
yards, joining Marino (61,361) and Elway
(51,475)…Also, with a last-second TD pass to RB Tony
Fisher, broke Elway's single-stadium record with his
181st TD pass at Lambeau Field (Elway threw 180 at
Mile High Stadium)…In 17-16 loss vs. Tampa Bay (Sept.
25), threw two TDs, including a 37-yard strike to
Ferguson on a fourth-and-4…In difficult 32-29, Monday
night loss at Carolina (Oct. 3), threw for 303 yards and
four TDs…Rallied the Packers from a 19-point deficit,
throwing two TDs and a pair of two-point conversions in
the fourth quarter…With no timeouts, had the Packers
in a position to win on their final drive, but his fourthand-2 pass to Driver fell incomplete inside the Carolina
40 with a minute left…Rebounded in 52-3 win vs. New
Orleans (Oct. 9), collecting three TD passes…In crushing 23-20 loss at Minnesota (Oct. 23), passed for 315
yards and two touchdowns, completing his first 13
passes…After Minnesota took a late, 20-17 lead,
orchestrated a 56-yard field goal drive that tied the contest with 24 seconds left, but the Vikings won on a 56yard field goal as time expired…In bizarre, 21-14 loss at
Cincinnati (Oct. 30), threw a career-high five interceptions, while surpassing Elway and moving into second
place all-time in both career attempts and yards…Down
21-7 in the fourth quarter, engineered a 13-play, 88-yard
touchdown drive, then got the ball back at his own 10yard line with 56 seconds left…After ushering the
offense to the Cincinnati 28 with 23 seconds on the
clock, was dropping back and looking for the potential
game-tying TD pass when a
Bengals fan who had slipped
past stadium security literally
took the ball out of Favre's
hands; the Packers' next play
resulted in a sack, setting the
stage for the final snap, a desperation throw on which officials flagged an exhausted
Favre for an illegal forward
pass…Against Pittsburgh (Nov.
6), did not throw a TD pass at
Lambeau Field for the first time
since Oct. 20, 2002, a win over
Washington in which Favre
departed with a knee injury,
ending his streak of 24 games
(27 including playoffs) with a
TD toss at the stadium…Quietly
led his team to its most impressive 2005 win, a 33-25 triumph
at Atlanta (Nov. 13); completed
26 of 39 for 252 yards and one
touchdown with one interception…In 20-17, Monday night
loss vs. Minnesota (Nov. 21),
threw for a pair of scores,
including a 53-yard connection with Driver, before K
Paul Edinger hit another last-second field goal to beat
Green Bay…In chilly Sunday night win vs. Detroit (Dec.
11), with a early completion to Ferguson, set an NFL
record by reaching 3,000 yards passing for a 14th overall season, breaking a tie with Marino (13)…Engineered
a game-saving series in the fourth quarter of Lions contest, going 2 of 3 for 34 yards to set up a 39-yard field
goal that tied the contest, 13-13, then orchestrated the
game-winning FG drive on the only overtime possession…Went two straight games without a TD pass for
the second time in his career, his first streak since Sept.
26-Oct. 3, 1993…Was swept in a Chicago season series
for the first time in 24-17 loss at Lambeau Field (Dec.

scamper…Passed for two touchdowns – an underhanded, playground-like 5-yard toss to Green and the incredible, game-winning 43-yard loft to Freeman in overtime
– in 26-20 triumph over Minnesota (Nov. 6); completed
17 of 36 passes for 235 yards, without an interception,
in win over the Vikings…Drove the Packers 58 yards for
a short field goal on the opening possession of overtime
in a 17-14 win over Tampa Bay to close the season (Dec.
24) for his 100th victory as the Packers’ starter (including nine playoff wins)…A week earlier, authored perhaps
his best game of the season in rematch victory over
Minnesota (Dec. 17) inside the Metrodome – typically a
personal house of horrors – leading the Packers to a 3328 upset victory with a highly efficient performance;
threw for 290 yards and matched his season high with
three touchdown strikes, without an interception, on 26of-38 passing…On third down, completed nine of 13
passes for 91 yards and two TDs in win, completing the
sweep of Minnesota and depriving the Vikings of the
chance to clinch home-field advantage throughout the
upcoming playoffs…Earlier in season opener vs. the
N.Y. Jets (Sept. 3), managed only 14 completions in 34
attempts – for 152 yards and one touchdown with one
interception – after a three-game layoff to rest his arm
following a preseason bout with tendinitis…Connected
on his first 14 throws before finishing with a 71.4 completion percentage (his best since the final game of the
’98 season) and a 112.7 passer rating at Buffalo (Sept.
10) on 25-of-35 passing…Posted season highs in passing yards (333) and touchdown passes (3), vs. the Bears
(Oct. 1)…Left in third quarter at Tampa Bay (Nov. 12)
after suffering a left mid-foot sprain when sacked by the
Buccaneers’ Warren Sapp…With his status in doubt,
nonetheless returned to the field with his trademark
effectiveness the following week vs. Indianapolis (Nov.
19), registering 301 yards passing and two touchdowns
in 26-24, upset win over the Colts, playing through
painful foot sprain…Efficiently led rematch victory at
Chicago (Dec. 3), highlighted by a trademark, laser-like
scoring throw to Freeman at the back of the end zone to
make the duo the 10th in league history with 50-or-more
touchdown collaborations…Earlier, during much of
training camp, was bothered by tendinitis on the outside
of his right (throwing) elbow, sitting out Green Bay’s

final three preseason games to rest his arm…Resumed
light throwing on Aug. 23 after nearly two full weeks of
total rest, he returned to the field for Green Bay’s season
opener against the Jets (Sept. 3).
1999
Completed 341 of a league-high 595 pass
attempts (57.3 percent) for 4,091 yards (third
in the NFC) and 22 touchdowns, with 23 interceptions,
for a passer rating of 74.7…Started all 16 games, playing most of the year with a sprained thumb on his throwing hand, an injury initially incurred in a preseason game
against Denver (Aug. 23), when he struck the Broncos'
John Mobley on his follow-through…Subsequently
aggravated the thumb injury on several occasions, most
notably in the second half of an opening-day, comeback
win over Oakland (Sept. 12)…Reached 30,000 yards
passing in his 126th pro game, Dec. 12 vs. Carolina, to
become the (then) third-fastest in league history to
ascend to that plateau, only Marino (114) and Moon
(125) having done so quicker…Turned in six 300-yard
passing games, one shy of his own club single-season
mark, while throwing for 3,000 yards an eighth consecutive year…Enjoyed his third career 4,000-yard passing
season (also 1995 and '98)…Also threw for the most
fourth-quarter yards (1,347) in the league…Was named
NFC ‘Player of the Month’ for September after throwing
Brett Favre’s remarkable record at home in cold weather
FAVRE

1998
Led the NFL in both passing yards (4,212) and
completions (347)…Also edged out Carolina’s
Steve Beuerlein (62.974) for the best completion percentage in the NFL with a 62.976 mark…Finished third
in the NFC with 31 touchdown passes and led the conference with a 113.0 passer rating on third down…Was
sixth in the conference in passer rating (87.8)…Led the
Green and Gold to a 23-15 victory over Tampa Bay (Sept.
13), demonstrating his sheer toughness early in the
fourth quarter when, after being drilled on a sack by the
Bucs’ Regan Upshaw, he bounced up and threw a 38yard TD strike to Freeman two plays later…Led the
Packers to a come-from-behind, 37-30 victory with a
signature performance at Carolina (Sept. 27)…Despite
uncorking an interception deep in Green Bay territory on
his first attempt vs. the Panthers, he rebounded to equal
his career high (and the team record) with five touchdown passes while throwing for a season-best 388
yards (then the fourth-highest total of his pro career),
earning national Miller Lite ‘Player of the Week’ honors
in the process…After two sub-Favre-like outings,
bounced back with a strong performance in leading the
Packers to 28-10 win vs. Baltimore (Oct. 25), when he
accounted for three touchdowns – two passing and one
rushing (his 11th rushing TD as a pro)…Demonstrated
VETERAN PLAYERS
the ability to make the big play in victory over San
Francisco (Nov. 1), when he connected on touchdown
passes of 80, 30 and 62 yards in leading Green Bay to a
36-22 triumph…His 62-yard strike to Freeman early in
the fourth quarter broke a 22-22 tie, a completion which
also made Favre the club’s all-time leader in passing
yardage…Had the second-best completion percentage
of his career (79.5) on 31-of-39 passing for 303 yards
and two touchdowns in rematch at Minnesota (Nov.
22)…Had another outstanding performance, this time
vs. Tennessee (Dec. 20), when he threw for three touchdowns (all in the first half to Freeman) and posted a season-best 142.6 passer rating…Also rushed for a season-high 49 yards against the then-Oilers, including a
35-yard run – the third-longest carry of his pro
career…1998 PLAYOFFS: Extending his club record by
throwing a touchdown pass in a 10th consecutive postseason game, engineered a masterful, 89-yard drive to
mount a Green Bay lead for a final time (27-23) in its
NFC Wild Card playoff game against the 49ers at San
Francisco’s 3Com Park (Jan. 3); found his split end,
Freeman, with a 15-yard strike for the go-ahead score
with 1:56 remaining…The 49ers, unfortunately, subsequently superseded his heroics, responding with a climactic drive of their own to score with three seconds
remaining to pull out a 30-27 victory…Favre had closed
out a strong performance by completing 20 of 35 passes for 292 yards and two touchdowns, with two interceptions.
1997 HONORS
Chosen as the starting quarterback for the NFC in the Pro Bowl
for the third consecutive year, though due to a lingering
knee injury he did not play in the game for the first
time…In addition to being named NFL ‘Most Valuable
Player’ by AP for a third consecutive year, an honor he
shared with Sanders, also was a unanimous choice at
quarterback across the board, being named at the position on every major All-Pro team, including AP, Sports
Illustrated, Pro Football Weekly, The Sporting News,
College & Pro Football Newsweekly, Football Digest and
USA Today…Named All-NFC by Pro Football Weekly and
Football News…His preeminence at his position was
further underscored when he was honored as
‘Professional Quarterback of the Year’ for the third consecutive year by the National Quarterback Club (June 4,
1998).
1997
Finished third in the NFC with a 92.6 passer
rating, based on 304 completions in 513
attempts for 3,867 yards and 35 touchdowns, with 16
interceptions…Was especially effective in the red zone
(inside the opponents’ 20-yard line)…During the regular
season, he threw 24 touchdown passes – without an
interception – while completing 46 of 79 passes for 341
yards and a passer rating of 108.2…Including the ’97
postseason, he completed 52 of 94 attempts for 392
yards and 27 touchdowns – without an interception – in
the red zone, a passer rating of 105.1…Also led the NFC
in completions (304) and passing yards (3,867), finishing second in the league as a whole to Oakland’s Jeff
George (3,917) in the latter…Eclipsed Starr’s team
record for touchdown passes – 152, set over a 16-year
career – in the fourth game of just his sixth season (vs.
Minnesota, Sept. 21)…Also became the second-fastest
player in NFL history to get to 150 career TD passes,
reaching that milestone in his 84th career game, a rate
bettered only by Marino (62 games), and (then) the second-fastest to throw for 20,000 career yards when he
accomplished the feat in 86 games…In the Packers’ 16
regular-season games, he threw at least two touchdown
passes in 11 contests and three-or-more in six others…Had an NFL-high 37 completions of 25-or-more
yards…Finished as Green Bay’s second-leading rusher

last-minute, comeback wins in three of the Packers' first
four games…Drove Green Bay 82 yards to the winning
score in 1:40 vs. Oakland (Sept. 12), finishing his emotional, opening-day heroics with a 1-yard touchdown
pass to tight end Jeff Thomason with 11 seconds
remaining in 28-24 triumph…Completed 28 of 47 passes for 333 yards and a season-best four touchdowns,
with three interceptions, in Raiders contest – despite
playing much of the second half with a badly sprained
thumb on his throwing hand, having hit it on the helmet
of Oakland's Russell Maryland and aggravating an injury
originally suffered during the preseason…Against
Minnesota (Sept. 26), faced with fourth-and-1, no timeouts remaining and the clock ticking away the last halfminute, threw unbelievable, 23-yard touchdown pass to
wideout Corey Bradford with 12 seconds left, wrapping
up an emotional, 23-20 victory; he had taken Green Bay
77 yards (on seven plays) in 1:44 on the final
drive…Completed 61.5 percent of his passes (24 of 39)
vs. the Vikings for 304 yards and one TD, without an
interception…On the night of his 30th birthday and
before a national television audience, he orchestrated his
third come-from-behind win in four games, driving his
team 73 yards in just 40 seconds to defeat Tampa Bay
(Oct. 10)…Operating in the face of an all-out blitz, he
threw a looping, 21-yard TD pass to Freeman with 1:05
remaining in Bucs contest to give Green Bay its final, 2623 margin of victory…Posted 105.2 passer rating
against Tampa Bay, completing 22 of 40 passes for a
season-high 390 yards (then his third-highest total as a
pro) and two TDs with no interceptions; his production
included a key, 42-yard bomb to Schroeder up the left
sideline to kick-start the decisive drive…Against
Chicago (Nov. 7), surpassed Ron Jaworski’s all-time QB
durability mark by starting in his 117th consecutive
game…Enjoyed a season-best 106.4 passer rating in
leading the Packers to a win at San Francisco (Nov. 29)
throwing for 236 yards and two TDs on 24-of-35 passing (68.6 percent), without an interception…Posted a
season-high 70.8 completion percentage (17 of 24) in
rematch win over the Bears at Chicago (Dec. 5) while
throwing for 155 yards and one TD with two INTs, in 25mile-per-hour winds…Authored a 302-yard day in losing cause against Carolina (Dec. 12), running for a season-high 29 yards on five attempts – picking up first
downs on all five carries.
FAVRE
VETERAN PLAYERS
with 187 yards and one TD on 58 carries…Was the
only player in the league to have thrown every one of
his team’s passes until the regular-season finale vs.
Buffalo (Dec. 20), when he gave way to Bono after
leading the Packers to a 21-0 halftime
advantage…Escorted the Packers to a 45-17 triumph
over long-time nemesis Dallas (Nov. 23), as he threw
four touchdown passes, completing 22 of 35 passes
for 203 yards, with only one INT…Earlier turned in his
best statistical effort of the season in a losing venture
at Indianapolis (Nov. 16), throwing for a season-high
363 yards and three touchdowns, completing 18 of 25
passes with two INTs for a passer rating of
120.4…His 14.52-yard average per pass play against
the Colts, helped by a season-long 74-yard connection
with Derrick Mayes, was the third-highest singlegame average in team history, as well as the best by a
Packers quarterback since 1958…A quick-strike artist
against Indy, he led the Packers on six scoring drives
– averaging 63.0 yards – of four, two, five, three, 11
and three plays…Did not throw a touchdown pass
against the Eagles (Sept. 7), marking the first time in
13 regular-season games he did not post a scoring
pass, dating back to Oct. 27, 1996, vs. Tampa
Bay…Rebounded to throw for at least one score in each
of the final 14 games…Tied the team record and his own
career high when he threw five touchdown passes in
leading the Packers to 38-32 win over Minnesota (Sept.
21), earning Miller Lite ‘Player of the Week’ honors in the
process…Broke Starr’s club mark for career touchdown
passes when he found Freeman from 28 yards out with
10:51 remaining in the second quarter of Vikings contest…His five scoring throws represented the singlegame high by an NFC quarterback during the 1997 season…Maneuvered Green Bay to pivotal win over previously unbeaten Tampa Bay (Oct. 5) when he completed
21 of 31 passes for 191 yards and two touchdowns –
without an interception…Had three TD passes for second straight game, this time at New England (Oct. 27),
when he earned NFC ‘Offensive Player of the Week’ honors by completing 23 of 34 passes for 239 yards without an interception in leading the Packers to a 28-10 victory in a rematch of Super Bowl XXXI…Subsequently

passes in 33 attempts for 280 yards and two touchdowns…Completed a season-best 75.8 percent of his
passes in Bucs contest…Led the Green and Gold to 3121 victory over Buffalo in finale (Dec. 20), completing 12

interceptions, in leading Green Bay past Tampa Bay, 217, in the Packers’ first postseason test – a Divisional
playoff game in Lambeau Field (Jan. 4)…The TD strike –
a 3-yarder to tight end Mark Chmura, staked the Packers
to a 7-0 advantage in the first quarter, a lead they never
relinquished; he later added his first career two-point
conversion against the Bucs…The resourceful field general hit on 16 of 27 attempts for 222 yards and one TD
– without an interception – in escorting the Green and
Gold to a decisive, 23-10 victory over the 49ers in the
NFC Championship Game at San Francisco (Jan. 11),
triggering the Packers’ return to the Super Bowl…Threw
three TD passes against Denver in SB XXXII at San
Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium (Jan. 25), tying his own
postseason best, but it wasn’t enough to carry the day
against the Broncos, who prevailed 31-24…Completed
25 of 42 passes for 256 yards, with one INT, vs. Denver.

process tied Joe Namath for the honor of being (then)
the third-fastest player in league annals to reach 15,000
yards passing, scaling that plateau in his 66th game…At
his best in key situations, ranked second in the NFC in
both fourth-quarter passing (96.2 rating) and thirddown passing (93.6), including a conference-high 12
touchdown passes on third down…Authored five fourtouchdown games, the second-highest single-season

TDs against Minnesota (Dec. 22), completing 15 of 23

Under control and on target throughout the postseason,

completing 14 of 27 attempts without an interception, to
trigger a 35-21 triumph in Super Bowl XXXI at the
Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, returning the
Lombardi Trophy to Green Bay for the first time in 29
years…It had to have been an especially magical
moment for Favre, who had disclosed off-the-field problems in May, then stated upon returning from a 45-day
stay in the Menninger Clinic at Topeka, Kan., "You know,
I'm going to beat this thing. I'm going to win a Super
Bowl. And all I can tell people if they don't believe me is,
'Just bet against me.' "

Vikings game for the remainder of the first half, then
played three series in the second half before the injury
hindered his play and he gave way to Detmer…Had
arguably his best performance as a professional the following week in a rematch with Chicago (Nov. 12) when,
not knowing until late in the week if he was even going
to play due to the severely sprained ankle, he threw for
a career-high and team-record tying five touchdown
passes to lead the Packers to a key 35-28 victory over
the Bears…Subsequently was named NFC 'Offensive
Player of the Week' (for the second time in four weeks)
after completing 25 of 33 passes for 336 yards with no
interceptions against Chicago, giving him a (then)
career-high single-game passer rating of 147.2…Led

another…Completed 23 of 28 passes for 210 yards
against the Browns for a career-best 82.1 completion
percentage…Threw four TD passes – all in the first half

completing 21 of 38 passes for 308 yards against the
Saints…Turned in gutty performance in leading Packers
to their division-clinching, 24-19 victory over Pittsburgh
(Dec. 24) when, despite having to stop twice during the
game after getting the wind knocked out of him, he
threw for 301 yards and two touchdowns…On one
sequence, he was hit hard by three Steeler defenders
while scrambling on a play; the Packers called a timeout
and Favre, who coughed up blood on the sidelines during a break in the action, returned to throw a 1-yard
scoring pass to Chmura on the following play…Named
NFC 'Offensive Player of the Month' for December, passing for 1,233 yards on 102 completions in 151 attempts
with 10 TDs and only two INTs (109.0 passer rating) in
directing Green Bay to three victories during the
month…1995 PLAYOFFS: Utilizing no fewer than nine

Wild Card victory over Atlanta in Lambeau Field (Dec.
31), presiding over scoring drives of 85, 78 and 70 yards
and throwing for three touchdowns in the
process…Was even more precise in a Divisional playoff
at San Francisco (Jan. 6), hitting on 21 of 28 passes (for
a team postseason record completion percentage of

– in directing the Packers to a 27-17 triumph over the

performance vs. the Niners…Completed 21 of 39
attempts for 307 yards and three touchdowns, with two
INTs, in the NFC Championship Game at Dallas (Jan. 14),
the Packers' first such appearance since 1967, but it
wasn't sufficient to carry the day, the Cowboys eventually prevailing, 38-27.
1994
Finished second in the NFL (behind only Steve
Young of San Francisco's Super Bowl champion 49ers) with a passer rating of 90.7…Ranked third in
the NFC in passing yards with 3,882…In the process,
became only the second player in team history to throw
for 3,000 yards in three different seasons…Also posted
third-lowest interception percentage (2.4) in the NFC
among qualifying passers…Ended season second in the
NFL with 33 TD passes, which also represented a Green
Bay record at the time, surpassing the 32 of Dickey in
1983…Set two other club records, his 363 completions
eclipsing the previous mark of 353 by Majkowski in
1989, and closing out the season with a 3.24 career
interception percentage, bettering Majkowski's 3.48
career mark…Was particularly effective over the last half
of the season, throwing for 23 touchdowns over the last
eight games and only seven interceptions over the final
nine games (his 14 interceptions overall were 10 fewer

for 150 yards and one TD…Led Packers to a comeback,
13-10 win over Tampa Bay (Nov. 28) when he engineered a 15-play, 75-yard scoring drive late in the fourth
quarter, capping it with a 2-yard TD pass to Sharpe with
1:16 left to produce the victory…On the play previous to
his scoring strike to Sharpe he had suffered a deep thigh
1993
Started all 16 games – one of only seven NFL
quarterbacks to do so…Became the most
accurate career passer in Packers history, supplanting
the legendary Starr…Finished the year eighth in the NFC
with a 72.2 passer rating, completing 318 of 522 passes
(60.9 percent) for 3,303 yards and 19 TDs, with 24
INTs…Was first among all NFC passers (second in NFL)
with 318 completions and his 19 TDs ranked third in the
conference (fifth in the NFL)…His 3,303 passing yards
were second in the NFC to Young (sixth in the

Giants' Phil Simms could not take part due to a shoulder
problem…Completed 20 of 35 passes for 268 yards and
a season-high four touchdowns (all of the latter to
Sharpe) at Tampa Bay (Oct. 24), escorting Packers to
37-14 win…Led Packers to 19-17, come-from-behind
victory over the Saints in New Orleans (Nov. 14)…Came
up with the biggest play of the season to that point
when, on a second-and-20 play from the Packers' 27yard line with 52 seconds left and the Packers down 1716, he rolled out of the pocket to his left and hit Sharpe
with a 54-yard strike that led to a game-winning field

than he threw in 1993)…Named second-team All-Pro by
Football Digest…Produced probably the Packers'
biggest play of the year in the second-to-last game of the
regular season…With Green Bay needing a victory to
keep its playoff hopes alive, he engineered a come-frombehind, 67-yard drive in the final 1:58 against Atlanta
(Dec. 18), capping the march with his diving, 9-yard TD
run into the right corner of the end zone with only 14
seconds remaining in the game to give the Packers a 2117 win…Completed 6 of 9 passes for 58 yards in that
eleventh-hour excursion…Completed 29 of 44 passes
for 321 yards and two TDs overall against the Falcons in
the Packers’ final game at Milwaukee County

of 36 passes for 291 yards and three TDs (all to Sterling
Sharpe)…Earlier, played one of the finest games of his
early career in 30-3 win over Tampa Bay (Sept. 25),
earning Miller Lite 'NFL Player of the Week' honors as he
completed 30 of 39 passes for 306 yards and three TDs,
with no INTs…Had thrown a touchdown pass in nine
straight games – the final three regular-season contests
of '93 plus the first six games of '94 – until the streak
was broken at Minnesota (Oct. 20) when he left the
game after the first quarter with a severely bruised left
hip…It was the first time since he became the starting
quarterback early in 1992 that he had been forced to
leave due to injury…Closed the year by throwing for at
least one score over the season’s final nine contests…Mounted one of his finest performances, at
Chicago (Oct. 31), running for one touchdown and
throwing for another in a cold, cyclonic rainstorm…The
first came late in the second quarter, when he rolled out
to his right and raced 36 yards (diving over a Bear
defender into the end zone) to give the Packers a 14-0
lead…Later, in the fourth quarter, he connected with
Edgar Bennett for a 13-yard touchdown, raising the
Packers’ lead to 27-0…His 58 yards rushing against the
Bears represented a career high…Turned in excellent
performance at Dallas (Nov. 24), throwing four TD passes while completing 27 of 40 passes – without an interception – for 257 yards against the NFL's then-No. 1
rated defense…1994 PLAYOFFS: Played a key role in the
Packers' 16-12 NFC Wild Card victory over Detroit in

1980…Also threw for a career-high 402 yards vs. Bears
– the third most in team history (behind Dickey's 418 vs.
Tampa Bay in 1980 and Don Horn's 410 vs. the
Cardinals in 1969)…It also represented the first 300and 400-yard passing games of Favre's career…Turned
in solid outing vs. Raiders (Dec. 26) in 22-degree wind
chill, passing for 190 yards and one TD (a 23-yarder to
Sharpe in the third quarter) on 14 completions in 28
attempts, with no INTs…1993 PLAYOFFS: Pulled off one
of the most spectacular plays in team history in NFC
Wild Card playoff at Detroit (Jan. 8)…With the Packers
trailing 24-21 in the final minute, he scrambled out of
the pocket to his left, found an "unguarded" Sharpe in the
open and unleashed an across-the-body throw from
extreme left to extreme right; Sharpe ran under the ball
in the end zone with 55 seconds left and the Packers
shortly became 28-24 winners…Had thrown two earlier
TD passes to Sharpe (a 12-yarder in the second quarter
and a 28-yarder in the third period) while completing 15
of 26 passes for 204 yards overall…Threw two more TD

of Packers' single-game playoff record) and two TDs.
1992
Acquired from Atlanta by then-Packers General
Manager Ron Wolf for a first-round draft selection in an offseason trade (Feb. 10)…Was so impressive
in escorting Green Bay to its second best record in 20
years (9-7) – soaring from designated backup to Pro
Bowler in just three months' time – that then-head coach
Holmgren was prompted to observe, "If Brett can stay
healthy, he will be the cornerstone of our football team
for many years to come."… Beginning the 1992 season
as the understudy to incumbent Majkowski, he was
hastily summoned from the bench to replace an injured
Majkowski (ankle) in the first quarter of Game 3 vs.
Cincinnati (Sept. 20) and proceeded to take a stranglehold on the QB position, staking an immediate claim by
leading the Packers to an electrifying, come-frombehind, 24-23 victory over the Bengals, forged by way of
a 35-yard scoring pass to wideout Kitrick Taylor with
only 13 seconds remaining in the game…Performing in
storybook fashion, he went on to compile an 8-5 record
as a starter and establish two new Green Bay passing
records in the process – single-season marks for passing percentage (64.12 percent; since broken in 2003)
and most consecutive 200-yard passing games
(11)…Named as the third QB for the NFC Pro Bowl
squad after finishing fifth among conference passers
with an 85.3 overall rating, based on 302 completions in
471 attempts for 3,227 yards and 18 touchdowns with
only 13 interceptions…At the time, was the youngest
quarterback ever to play in AFC-NFC Pro Bowl (since
1971) at 23 years, 3 months, 28 days of age…His 302
completions tied him with Troy Aikman of Super Bowl
champion Dallas for first-place honors in NFC…Also
ranked second in the conference (to Young) with his
64.12 passing percentage, which broke Starr's Green
Bay single-season record of 63.74, set in 1968…Had
third-lowest interception percentage among all NFL
quarterbacks (2.76)…Also became only the fourth
Packers QB to pass for over 3,000 yards in a season…Had a string of 111 passes without an interception

second-half relief role the next week at Tampa Bay (Sept.
13), completing eight of 14 passes for 73
yards…Engineered two TD drives in last eight minutes
of the game to pull out 24-23 victory over Cincinnati
(Sept. 20) after relieving injured Majkowski in opening
quarter…Threw for a season-high 289 yards against
Bengals on 22-of-39 passing…Made first NFL start on
Sept. 27 vs. Pittsburgh and responded by completing 14

Chronology of the Packers’ 1992 deal for Favre
April 21, 1991 — On Day 1 of the ’91 NFL draft, the
Philadelphia Eagles strike a deal with Green Bay to move up.
Eyeing Tennessee T Antone Davis, the Eagles ship their ’91 firstround choice (19th overall) to Green Bay for the Packers’ firstrounder (eighth overall). Philadelphia gets Davis, and the Packers
use the Eagles’ No. 19 to snag CB Vinnie Clark from Ohio State.
The Packers’ Tom Braatz and Lindy Infante don’t consummate the
trade until Philadelphia agrees to throw in its first-round pick in
the 1992 draft…
Later, in Round 2, the Falcons select Brett Favre 33rd overall,
breaking the hearts of several teams, including the Jets…Ron Wolf,
heading the Jets personnel department, chooses QB Browning
Nagle with the next choice, 34th.
Nov., 1991 — Braatz is relieved on Nov. 20. One week later,
the Packers hire Wolf and give him full control of Green Bay football operations.
Dec. 1, 1991 — Green Bay’s first game after Wolf’s hiring is a
trip to Atlanta Fulton County Stadium. Before a 35-31 loss, in
pregame warmups, Wolf scouts Favre, the player he missed by
one pick in the draft seven months earlier with the Jets.
Feb. 10, 1992 — In his second trade as Packers general manager, Wolf takes the choice acquired in ’91 from Philadelphia
(17th overall, the Eagles were 10-6 in 1991) and sends it to
Atlanta for Favre…
The Falcons later traded that 17th pick to Dallas for the
Cowboys’ first-round position (19th) and fourth-round choice
(104th) in the same draft; Dallas chose CB Kevin Smith from
Texas A&M with its pick acquired from Atlanta, through Green
Bay; the Falcons chose Favre’s former Southern Mississippi teammate Tony Smith (RB) at No. 19 and selected CB Frankie Smith
from Baylor at No. 104.

(656), passing percentage (53.0) and touchdowns (55),
with only 35 interceptions…His production included five
300-yard passing games and five three-TD performances, while his 7,695 regular-season passing yards ranked
him among the top 30 of all-time NCAA passers…His
1.57 interception ratio in 1988 was the lowest among the
50 top-ranked passers in the nation, and his 2.9 interception rate for his four-year career (based on 34 in
1,169 regular-season attempts) also ranks as one of the
best in NCAA history…Overcame injuries in a serious
summer car accident prior to his senior year to lead his
team to an 8-3 record and just eight points from an
undefeated season…Suffered internal injuries in the
accident on July 14, 1990, he subsequently had 30 inches of his intestines surgically removed 24 days later

A fourth presidential election puts streak in perspective
Since Brett Favre launched his starting streak Sept. 27, 1992, people have moved from cassettes to CDs and 1 billion people
went “online.” The streak has encompassed the rise and fall of compact discs, Martha Stewart, Beanie Babies, Ross Perot, Celine
Dion and Y2K. Over the last 15 years, The Bridges of Madison County, The Client, The Da Vinci
Code and Cold Mountain have gone from the best-seller list to the big screen to the video rental
store. And, sandwiched within the streak are the O.J. Simpson trial, the first and last episodes of
NBC’s hit series Friends and HBO’s The Sopranos, and Bill Clinton’s two terms in office.
In fact, Nov. 2, 2004, marked the fourth time during Favre’s streak Americans have gone to
the polls to vote for President. Clinton defeated George Bush (1992) and won a second term over
Bob Dole and Perot (1996). Then, George W. Bush beat Al Gore (2000) and in November won
another term (2004), defeating John Kerry.

FAVRE’S 42 TOUCHDOWN TARGETS
Brett Favre in 2006 padded his career list of touchdown targets to 42, adding Noah Herron, Greg Jennings and Ruvell Martin.
The quarterback notched his first two touchdown passes Sept. 20, 1992, vs. Cincinnati. In rallying Green Bay to a 24-23 win, he
connected with Sterling Sharpe and Kitrick Taylor, respectively.
Favre’s 57 connections with Antonio Freeman represent the sixth most by any duo in history — and most in Packers annals. Only
Peyton Manning-Marvin Harrison, Steve Young-Jerry Rice, Dan Marino-Mark Clayton, Jim Kelly-Andre Reed and Johnny UnitasRaymond Berry have combined for more touchdowns.
