NFL Week 6: Why We Love Brett Favre

October 9th, 2007

Yes, Brett Favre is human. His third-quarter throw to Brian Urlacher (oops) let the Chicago Bears back into Sunday night’s matchup with the Green Bay Packers. And now the Pack are 4-1 SU and ATS.

But we still love Favre. And we like what he might be able to do in Week 6 against the Washington Redskins and their middle-of-the-pack defense. Even with that puzzling interception, Favre was 29-for-40 for 322 yards against the Bears. His 95.1 passer rating after five games is right in line with his best seasons in 1995 and 1996 – the latter earning Favre his Super Bowl ring.

We also love the fact that Favre is still throwing laser beams at age 38 (Happy Birthday, today!). And, of course, he’s got the charisma factor. The movie-star looks don’t win football games, but poise, confidence and leadership do. For the first time in a while, Favre had confidence in his team’s offense.
