Two weeks ago, Brett Favre's NFL-record streak of 297 consecutive games started was brought to an end. One week ago, Favre started a new streak. And now that streak has been brought to an end after one game.

NFL Network is reporting that Favre will not start for the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday night against the Philadelphia Eagles because he has not yet recovered from a concussion he suffered last Monday against the Bears.

Rookie Joe Webb will start for the Vikings in Favre's place. Webb is the eighth different rookie quarterback to start an NFL game this year, the most different rookies to start in one non-strike season in the NFL in more than 30 years.
