The Tennessee Titans lost their first game Sunday against the New York Jets with Brett Favre leading the pack. The Jets beat the Titans 34-13 and Favre broke Dan Marino’s record by wining in his 32nd different stadium throughout his career.
Coming back from a win against the Patriots last weekend, the Jets crushed the Titans and tore their 13-game winning streak to shreds. They have won five straight games for the first time since 2004 and are on a role with an 8-3 record moving on top the American Football Conference East teams. Wide receiver Leon Washington sealed the Jets win by breaking free for a 61-yard touchdown run giving them a 27-6 lead over the Titans and became the longest play of the season for the Jets.
Favre has shown that age is not an issue with him and he has a lot more left in his bones at almost 40 years old. Against the Titans he threw two touchdown passes and had 224 passing yards total. He helped the Green Bay Packers dominate during his reign in the previous years and made even the fans of other teams love him. After deciding he didn’t like sitting on his butt in retirement he’s helped the Jets dominate as well.
A fan could be a Favre lover and still love his or her team just as much because Favre is that likable. He’s also known for sucking it up when he has an injury and it was great to see him tell Dallas Cowboys’ quarterback Tony Romo to suck it up when he injured his pinky.
If Favre keeps up these victories, the Jets might have a chance at the playoffs this season with the Patriots one game behind. But if the Jets go to the super bowl, no matter if they win or not, Favre should consider retiring on top and stay there. I’d rather see the hero go out on top then keep up these victories and then start to slide on his performance. If he stays, he’ll be known for being a hardcore football player that’s too stubborn to know when to quit. Also if he stays, he will be the laughing stock of football with the stunt he pulled in the beginning of the season by coming out of retirement. People would respect him more if he quit while he’s ahead. Not that I don’t want to see Favre on the field anymore, but I’d rather him go down as a great quarterback then go down in flames.
