Getting your player ready...
As he prepares to enter his 20th season in the NFL, Brett Favre of the Minnesota Vikings is going where few quarterbacks have gone before. According to STATS LLC, 17 quarterbacks in NFL history have started a season in which they turned 40 by Nov. 1. The vast majority of those players spent the waning days of their careers watching from the sideline. Favre is the only 40-year-old quarterback to win a playoff game and one of only three to start more than six games in his 40s. He joins Warren Moon and Vinny Testaverde, who each made 25 starts in their 40s.
