Brett Favre is inactive for Minnesota's Monday night game against the Giants, ending his streak of 297 consecutive starts. The streak is the longest of any position player in NFL history. Favre sprained the SC joint near his right shoulder when he was tackled by Arthur Moats on his first pass of last Sunday's game against the Bills. Favre's streak started on Sept. 27, 1992 when he started against the Pittsburgh Steelers, replacing an injured Don Majkowski.
