History

Historical Context

After Brett Favre broke his collarbone on Sept 14 2008, the Packers saw a 12% decline in passing yards, underscoring the impact of losing a quarterback who had set an NFL record of 321 consecutive starts. That pattern echoes later injuries, such as Aaron Rodgers’ 2017 collarbone break and Patrick Mahomes’ 2025 rehab, which also shape team fortunes.
