For the first time since 1992, Brett Favre wasn't in the starting lineup for his team. A streak spanning 297 consecutive starts finally comes to a close. To give you an idea of just how long ago that was, here's some food for thought:
NFL's leading passer in 1992: Dan Marino
Packers Leading Receiver in 1992: Sterling Sharpe
Players remaining in NFL that played in 1992: John Kasay, Jason Hanson
Green Bay's First Round Pick in 1992: Terrell Buckley, CB, Florida State
Packers Starting QB before Favre: Don "the Magic Man" Majkowski
If Favre never sets foot on a field again he'll retire as the all-time leader in passing yards and passing touchdowns. He's been to 11 Pro Bowls, won 3 MVPs and won a Super Bowl. And while his waffling about retiring in recent years has turned some people off to him, once all the dust finally settles, people will remember him for the warrior he was.
