Brett Favre - One To A Dozen
Brett Favre's consecutive-starts streak becomes the story in the market where the Packers play, especially infrequently. Green Bay Packers will visit Cincinnati on Sunday afternoon. It will be NFL stadium number 40 in which Favre has played.
The Packers and the Bengals have not played each other in more than seven years. The Packers last played the Bengals at Cinergy Field, in Sept 1998. The Packers won that one with Favre passing for one touchdown and 274 yards.
Favre and his "starts streak" have propelled the quarterback to iconic status and the Packers' stability at quarterback is historically a bit reason for their success. Cincinnati's weakness at quarterback is a major reason the team has gone fourteen seasons in a row without reaching the playoffs.
To bring it home, no fewer than twelve quarterbacks have started for the Bengals in the time Favre has been Green Bay's only starter!
