After Sunday’s 26-7 loss to the Carolina Panthers, the Minnesota Vikings starting quarterback Brett Favre acknowledged he had a “heated discussion” with Coach Brad Childress, who worked so hard to have the legendary quarterback put on No.4 Vikings jersey.
Favre claimed the coach wanted to take him out of the game to avoid taking any more hits from Julius Peppers and the Carolina defensive line.
“Brad wanted to go in a different direction. And I wanted to stay in the game,” Favre said. “It’s not 70-6, but we were up 7-6. I said I’m staying in the game. I’m playing.”
It didn’t work out well, with the Panthers outscoring Minnesota 20-0 in the fourth quarter. It seemed that Childress wanted to protect his QB as the Panthers harassed Favre all night, sacking him four times. But Favre would have nothing of it. He finished the game with 17 of 27 for 224 yards and no touchdowns.
