Brett Favre will be 40 this Saturday. A good age to retire but the star quarterback feels that his new life in purple vikings jersey just begins. While playing his last game of his 30s Monday night against the Green Bay Packers, he threw for 271 yards and three TDs to beat his old team, showing everyone that his surgically repaired right arm was in perfect condition.
After his first four games in purple, Favre has completed 68 percent of his passes for 837 yards, eight touchdowns and just one interception to lead the Vikings to a 4-0 start. Comparing to his only season in the New York Jets, Favre’s performance for this season is much better. While playing for the Jets, a partially torn biceps in his throwing arm limited him to nine interceptions and only two touchdowns as the Jets lost four of five down the stretch and missed the playoffs.
Favre underwent a surgery on his biceps in May and had the partially torn tendon cut to alleviate the pain that caused the quarterback to retire for a second consecutive season last spring. The surgery, which has been growing in popularity, was the main reason for Favre to extend his career.
