Postseason Favre
I’ve been pretty hard on Favre for basically everything since his first retirement. So when I ran across this quote, I wanted to post it, but given my past, it will probably come off as more Favre bashing. In an attempt to just present you with the data, I give you this quote with no potential explanations (although I at least a few exist on both sides of the argument.) Feel free to comment with your thoughts.
In two of his last four postseason appearances, Favre threw two of the most unthinkable playoff interceptions in NFL history, both in overtime -- to Brian Dawkins of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2003 and to Corey Webster of the New York Giants in January of 2008. In fact, Favre is the only quarterback in NFL history to throw... overtime interceptions in two playoff games. In his last nine playoff games, Favre threw 18 interceptions.
There’s a lot more where that came from in Sal Paolantonio’s article on ESPN.com.
