Brett Favre's record streak of consecutive games started will come to an end at 297 as he's been ruled inactive for the Minnesota Vikings game against the New York Giants today.
In honor of his accomplishment, I've decided to rank his most impressive records.
Where does his starting streak rank?

The fact that Brett Favre has 189 games with at least 20 completions is is one of those records that has truly gone under the radar.
However, to me, this signifies that the coaching staff put the ball in your hands with the notion that you would be effective and you did exactly that.
Truly a special feat.
6. Beat All 32 Teams

In all of sports, this may arguably be the most impressive record held.
Brett Favre demonstrated not only incredible toughness and the uncanny ability to play at a high level for the course of 297 games.
