Brett Favre did not start Monday night for the Minnesota Vikings against the New York Giants, bringing to an end his NFL-record streak for consecutive starts at 297 games.Favre was added to the inactive list about an hour and a half prior to kickoff.
Favre owns the NFL record for passing yards, passing touchdowns and complete passes, and yet the streak is the most impressive of all his records. The streak began in September of 1992, when Favre replaced an injured Don Majkowski as the Green Bay Packers' starter.
It has endured through injuries to Favre's throwing arm and hand, his injured ankle and also the death of his father, when Favre threw four touchdowns in the first half on Monday Night Football and ran up 399 passing yards in a 41-7 win over the Raiders, just a day after his dad died. But it couldn't endure a shoulder injury Favre suffered when he was hit while throwing his first pass of the game last week against the Buffalo Bills.
