Welcome my friends to the ninth edition of "Brett Favre vs. Aaron Rodgers" The article that sparks more arguments than politics—ok maybe not politics, but you get my point.
Last week was Favre's default win as he tied up the score 4-4 with Rodgers. With bye weeks out of the way, the real competition can start.
Let’s do this thing.
Week Nine
New York Jets 26
Buffalo Bills 17
Brett Favre: 19-28, 201yds, 1 INT
The Good: Jets coach Eric Mangini told Favre before the game to "stop hitting on 20", a reference to Black Jack. Favre did just that. For the most part, Favre took care of the ball. He threw short and safe passes—something he needed to do against an agressive defense like Buffalo. Brett Favre added yet ANOTHER NFL record as he became the first player to win in 32 stadiums.
The Bad: The interception wasn't that bad. It was a terribly ran route on top of top notch coverage by the defense. Favre had pressure and trusted his arm. Sure he paid for it, but he redeemed himself as he led a long touchdown drive for the Jets.
Favre probably could have done more to help his team, but he didn't need to as the defense actually played a good game for once.
Green Bay Packers 16
Tennessee Titans 19
Aaron Rodgers: 22-41, 314yds, 1 TD 1 INT
The Good: Rodgers went crazy on the fourth ranked defense in the league. 314 yards is not an easy feat on this team. He did almost everything he could have done to win. He made big plays and made really good throws. He almost had two big gains to Greg Jennings, but the Titans secondary made fantastic plays to stop them.
