« AFC Championship
Brett Favre is nearing the end of his career and what a career it's been.
Records, division titles, a conference championship, an appearance in the movie Something About Mary and a Super Bowl
title are just some of the things Favre can use on his résumé. Coincidentally, which team did Favre beat to win his only Super Bowl ring? The New England Patriots. They are playing in the AFC Title game.
