A short Jets stay with one explosive afternoon
Favre joined the Jets during training camp in 2008 after a long career in Green Bay. He played all sixteen games that season, throwing for 3,472 yards and 22 touchdowns. After catching three scores against Arizona, Laveranues Coles described his excitement at playing alongside a legend and the chance to learn from him. Favre’s Jets career lasted a single season.

On September 28, 2008, Favre threw six touchdown passes in a 56–35 win, matching Joe Namath’s Jets record.
