Favre Crossed Two Milestones Last Night, Can He Continue to Pass Another?

Throughout the history of the NFL, there has not been another quarterback like Brett Favre. He has a number of characteristics and traits that make him unique, including his hilarity on the field, his intense love for the game, and his ability to perform at a high level at the age of 40 (now 41). But perhaps the most impressive trait is the records that he has piled up over his long and successful career.

Last night, on Monday Night Football, Favre entered the most elite tier of quarterbacks. He broke 70,000, that's right, 70,000 career passing yards and crossed 500 career touchdowns in his up and down Monday nighter. No other quarterback has EVER gotten to those kind of numbers. The next closest player (Dan Marino) has almost 9,000 fewer yards and 82 fewer touchdowns than Favre. He is, no doubt, one of the best in the history of the game.

There is one more record Favre is looking to shatter.

No quarterback, in the history of the NFL, has ever WON the Super Bowl with two different teams. The closest instance was a few years ago when Kurt Warner of the Cardinals lost the Super Bowl in the last minute to the Steelers. Warner of course won the Big Game with "the Greatest Show on Turf" almost a decade ago. Winning the Super Bowl is Favre's one and only goal coming into his 20th and supposedly last season. He came so close to accomplishing that goal last season until he threw the interception that cost the Vikings a trip to Miami. The chances of him doing it this season are looking more and more bleak with each week as the Vikings continue to lose heart-breaking games and are off to a 1-4 record.

There is still time to turn the season around however. The offense looked more explosive with Randy Moss in the line-up, putting up 20 second half points against one of the better defenses in the league to potentially win the game, but Favre held the team back overall; he fumbled twice (he broke the record for most fumbles in a career too) and threw a pick six the end of the game to give New York the go-ahead score. Until Favre handles his turnovers, this Vikings team will struggle to win games, and is questionable to make the play-offs.
