Favre: Cold Weather Impacted Team's Focus In Loss
27th December, 2007 - 9:34 am
ESPN - Brett Favre said he and his teammates can't brush off the Green Bay Packers' 35-7 loss to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Sunday simply because it was played in extreme conditions.

Asked on Wednesday if he sensed that some of his teammates lost concentration because of the weather, Favre said yes -- a surprise, given the team's success all season and the potential playoff ramifications of Sunday's game.

"I don't know if anyone was really into it," Favre said.

The Packers still had a shot at earning home-field advantage throughout the playoffs going into the game, but Favre said the weather might have thrown off the NFL's youngest team.

"I'm sure there were some guys on our team who thought, 'What did I get myself into?,'" Favre said. "I don't think anyone knew what we were up against from a weather standpoint. And I think being a real young team, it probably was a little bit of a shock to them." [READ]
