At 40 years old Brett Favre set career highs in completion percentage, QB rating, and AY/attempt. He threw 33 touchdowns and only 7 interceptions. He threw at least 13 picks in every other season. His 4,202 passing yards were only 211 short of his career high in 1995. Brett really did put everything he had physically and mentally into making one last serious run at a Super Bowl. It’s tragic and fitting how that run came up just short.

In 2009 the leaders for TD passes were : Brees: 34 Manning/Favre: 33 Rodgers : 30 with no other qb surpassing 30 td's. Favre made stars out of Sidney Rice (had 1,300 yards in 2009 and never eclipsed 800 any other year in his career) and Shancoe (11 td's). With Favre under center Adrian Peterson, usually useless as a receiver, had his best season with 27.3 receiving yards per game. The offense became #2 in the league under Favre after finishing 12, 15, 26, and 19 the previous 4 seasons. Nothing pedestrian about getting an MVP stolen because he was a "villian" in 2009, and a super bowl being stolen in a bounty bowl, where the media still ignores the missed fumble, phantom pi call, and reviewed catch that hit the ground but was called complete for the saints in OT.

Feel good stories aren't allowed in pro sports, maybe once or twice a century

His ankle was destroyed during that game anyway, the doctor who did the surgery said it wasn’t even healed by the time the next season started. Vikings would’ve lost the Super Bowl and Favre would’ve been hobbling around on one leg the whole time. The story would’ve been the same.

[@praetorian9823]

As a Green Bay fan, much as I hate to say it, that’s the Favre special. Forcing a ball into double coverage and praying for the best… God, he was so much fun to watch, but he was also one of the most *painful* players to watch.

[@PNyujsY]

That vikes oline tho 🔥..hopefully with this draft 🙏 we come close to something like that.

[@AbdiqalisMohamud010]

If you're wandering why Joe Buck didn't call the game he was calling the 2009 WS that night for Fox in Philly that night

[@browmaster2197]

We may see another one. This time with Rodgers on the Bears and Love on the Packers

[@godsbabi1]

That makes me want to have. Ewwww. Lol

[@Sixsince-dd2eu]

Except Rodgers doesn’t have much of a reason do get revenge (unless it’s for all the nfccg losses)

Blake Bortles Comeback! (Giants vs. Jaguars 2014, Week 13)

[@stevenkeith6883]

umm... no

[@encinobalboa]

Favre and Jennings at the end was a nice moment.

[@thenobleone-3384]

I had a nostalgia moment I was a hardcore Madden fan. And loved playing people online. Playing defense is fun

[@XBC3-4GOTY]

This Should Be on The Vikings Classic Games Not The Packers smh 🤦‍♂️

[@elnino4306]

He came he saw he kicked their ass !!

[@chriskay1449]

The next season, ROdghers came, he saw, he kicked Favre's ass into retirement.

[@camcook7241]

Dam wasnt a Vikings fan but really wanted to see them win it that year !!

[@douglarsen4801]

Such a crazy year. Brett's great year, Prime AD, Prime Jared Allen, Prime Percy Harvin, Rodgers looks like he's 9 on his way to becoming one of the best etc

[@colecards7789]

Adrian Peterson carrer highlights

[@bigkev23007]

that man played right after his dad died how could you ever boo him

[@billybaggins1443]

I thought that happened a few years before.

[@mjjohnson5904]

THIS WAS INTERESTING................

[@LOGANoAce]

Favre AP Percy Harvin best Trio ever and so much fun to watch! 🔥🔥🔥
