Favre vs. the Steelers
Sunday, October 25, 2009

Brett Favre has made 275 consecutive starts. Four have been against the Steelers. Where they fit on the Favre continuum.

No. 1: Sept. 27, 1992, Lambeau Field ... Packers, 17-3 ... Starts in place of Don Majkowski and goes 14 of 19 for 210 yards and 2 TDs. And so begins not only the streak but the Favre legacy.

No. 61: Dec. 24, 1995, Lambeau Field ... Packers, 24-19 ... Throws for 301 yards and two TDs as the Packers clinch their first division title in 23 years while denying the Steelers the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs.

No. 102: Nov. 9, 1998, Three Rivers Stadium ... Steelers, 27-20 ... His only previous Pittsburgh visit was on "Monday Night Football." Steelers score on their first five possessions, harass Favre all night, above, then hold on.

No. 213: Nov. 6, 2005, Lambeau Field ... Steelers, 20-10 ... A Favre fumble results in a 77-yard return by Troy Polamalu. A Favre interception sets up a short touchdown run for Duce Staley.
