Packers quarterback Brett Favre has broken many records this season, but one of his biggest accomplishments in the NFL might come Monday night when he starts his 200th consecutive game.
And it's not something that's going un-noticed in Wisconsin.
"Breaking this record is a testament to the determination and perseverance that Brett Favre shows on and off the field. Wisconsin is proud of all of the contributions he has made to the game of football, and to our state," Doyle said.
The game may not be an easy one for Favre, however. The Packers are hosting the St. Louis Rams, who are also in the thick of the NFC playoff race.
The Packers are locked in a battle with the Minnesota Vikings for NFC North division supremacy, and entered Week 11 ranked in a tie with for the North lead. Mike Sherman's team, which has won five straight games following a 1-4 start, was a 16-13 come-from-behind winner in Houston last Sunday to maintain a share of the division advantage.
The Rams, meanwhile, will be trying to maintain their footing in the NFC West race. Mike Martz and company were 37-17 losers at Buffalo last Sunday, and that win coupled with a Seattle loss dropped the Rams into second place in the division. St. Louis has lost three of its last four since a 4-2 start. |
