Record Breakers
Brett Favre’s consecutive starts streak is also the longest all-time for a non-special teams player, and one of four quarterback streaks that lasted over 200 games.
End of a Streak
On December 5, 2010, playing for the Minnesota Vikings against the Buffalo Bills, Favre was knocked out of the game on the first drive with a sprained SC joint injury to his right shoulder, caused by a hit from linebacker Arthur Moats. After a snowstorm delayed the following Sunday’s game against the New York Giants to Monday, December 13, Favre was ruled inactive, ending his streak at a record 297 games (321 including playoffs).
