Brett Favre has started 291 consecutive games at quarterback dating back to the 1992 season. It is looking more and more like that streak could come to an end this weekend.
Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress is reportedly leaning toward benching Brett Favre for backup quarterback Tavaris Jackson in Sunday's game against the New England Patriots.
Favre is out of the walking boot he has been wearing, but hasn't practiced all week. That doesn't mean anything, and the question people are asking now is who makes this decision? Will it be Favre or Childress?
How must Tavaris Jackson feel right now? A team may start a crippled old man ahead of him. Stay tuned.
