On Sept. 20, 1992 the Green Bay Packers hosted the Cincinnati Bengals. It was the 3rd game of the season. During this game, starting quarterback Don Majkowski was injured, to be forever replaced by Brett Favre. It was a shaky appearance for Favre, as he fumbled 4 times.
Yet, first year Coach Mike Holmgren, stayed with Favre to the finish. With the Packers losing 23-17 and only 1 minute 7 seconds remaining the final series started from their own 8 yard line.
The game winning drive ended with a 35 yard touchdown pass to Kitrick Taylor with only 8 seconds remaining.
With Majkowski injured, Favre started the next week against the Steelers. The start against the Steelers on Sept. 27, 1992 was the beginning of Favre's record setting streak of consecutive starts.
The game program is in excellent/near mint condition. Clean, crisp. No folds or creases, no writing or marks. The program is filled with great photos of some very young coaches, just starting in the league and in their first year with the Packers. The staff included Jon Gruden, Steve Mariucci, and Andy Reid.
Each program that year included a full page photo/mini poster of different player. How ironic that Brett Favre is the featured Packer on this sheet.
The ticket stub was hand torn by the usher. All the essential informationl day, date, time, location are intact on the ticket. The upper left corner of the stub was folded, the back side of the ticket shows some wear.
This is a unique package of early Brett Favre history. (84L0681)
