Brett Favre had a hit to the ribs on the first play last week against the Dallas Cowboys, got planted on the turf again on the next play, and had got hit so hard in the third quarter that he felt "PRETTY CLOSE TO DEATH".
"Quarterbacks get hit in this league", Childress said. We're paying him enough every game. He's going to get hit.
Favre keeps getting up, but for how long? He will start his 291st game today against his former team for 16 years, the Green Bay Packers,who probably want to to pound him with hope he will crack.
Favre isn't nearly as good at age forty-one and coming out of ankle surgery before the current season.
The vikings say opponents are blitzing more than last season. He's been blitzed sixety-two times, or thirty-eight percent of his dropbacks according to ESPN's stats and imformation.
