Favre's TD streak
General
Published on : 12/12/2003
Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre has thrown a touchdown pass in 22 consecutive games and is on the brink of setting yet another personal milestone this week. If Favre throws one TD pass on Sunday against San Diego, he will eclipse Cecil Isbell's franchise record for consecutive games with a touchdown pass. Isbell had at least one scoring strike in 22 consecutive games from 1941-42, leading Green Bay to an 18-3-1 record in that span. Favre's run is the longest of his career and the longest active NFL streak.
