Brett Favre Throws Career High Six TDs

National Football League Blogcast, NFL Blogcast

N.Y. Titans Jets quarterback Brett Favre has thrown a lot of touchdowns (448 to be exact) in his career. But he never threw six in one game. Until today. Brett went off on the Arizona Cardinals defense in a wild 56-38 win this afternoon. He started 1-of-4 passing, including a poorly thrown interception, but he rebounded in a big way. Not only did he throw six touchdowns (three to Laveranues Coles, two to Jerricho Cotchery and one to Dustin Keller), but he completed passes to eight different receivers (24-of-34, 289 yards) in the lopsided win. It was just what the Jets needed after last week’s dismal loss to the Chargers on Monday Night Football and Brett was pleased with his team:

“I’m proud of this team and the way we battled today, especially after last week. We knew the offense could score a lot of points. I think it shows the potential of what this team has. It’s just one game, but it’s a great start.”

It’s actually just three quarters. The Jets didn’t score in the first quarter, believe it or not. After watching this game, I am starting to get the feeling that Brett Favre is settling in to a comfort level with this offense. If the Jets can get their running game going (they’re near the bottom of the league statistically and only had 89 yards rushing today), they could be a very dangerous and potentially explosive team.
