Brett Favre Returns
Brett Favre started for the Minnesota Vikings in their preseason game against the 49′ers.
Brett Favre saw limited action in his return to the NFL, and exited the game against the 49'ers after running into problems with his dentures.
The Vikings originally planned to play Favre up to 10 plays, but coach Brad Childress had seen enough after 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis blew past Peterson and crunched Favre on a second-and-13 play. (And don’t try to tell me that Peterson faced the unenviable task of blocking two free blitzers on the play. He chose Willis and never looked at linebacker Takeo Spikes.)
Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell called a draw on third down, and backup Tarvaris Jackson took over on the Vikings’ next series. Four days after reporting to the Vikings’ practice facility, Favre’s only pass was a 13-yard swing pass to Peterson. The outing was reminiscent of his Vikings debut in the 2009 preseason, when he completed 1 of 4 passes and absorbed a pair of brutal hits.
