A rookie QB from Kiln, Misssissippi made his inauspicious NFL debut for the Falcons on that Sunday afternoon, and the young whipper snapper was promptly greeted by LB Andre Collins who picked off Favre's pass and ran it back for a touchdown.

Favre would not complete a pass for the entire 1991 season. It wasn't until 1992, after he had joined the Green Bay Packers, that Favre would complete his first pass, a deflected pass that was caught by...Brett Favre.

WOW. I remember watching that game for the 56 we put up on the Falcons, but I had no idea it was Favre's debut. At that time, it didn't really mean anything though.

Now that I think about it I was at the game for my very first skins game. My dad won the tickets on some radio show and it was a blast. So what you saying is that Brett had his first int against the skins and his first recption to himself the following year? Did I get that right.

I remember that game, Gary Clark had 200+ yards on 4 or 5 receptions!

It seems like Favre makes a bad decision just about every game that results in an INT. I would love to see Phillip Daniels bat it and catch it or something else strange like that. Not your routine INT.

Either that or someone in the secondary catches it to ice the game late in the 4th Quarter. How sweet would that be!
