Brett Favre rested peacefully in the arms of a trainer after getting knocked out of the game between the Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots. The trainer gently cradled Favre like a sleeping baby while applying direct pressure to the fallen quarterback's bleeding chin.
Perhaps even worse than the blow to Favre's face was the devastation suffered by his ego. Backup quarterback Tarvares Jackson completed a touchdown pass on his first attempt after replacing Favre. Jackson followed that with a completed a pass for the subsequent two point conversion.
The Vikings went on to lose 28-18. Brad Childress may be the happiest coach ever to have an injured first string quarterback. He can turn the team over to Jackson as they limp through the rest of a disappointing season. The coffin may be closing on Brett Favre's career on Halloween 2010.
