They would have thrown a flag on the defender for making illegal contact with Brady.

"Personal foul, making illegal contact with Tom Bra...er I mean quarterback. 25-yard penalty, automatic first down, a $10,000 fine, and a new QB rule."

For it to be dirty, I think there needs to be some sort of intent to injure. I don't see why Favre would be intentionally trying to injure anyone.

Especially if Favre could have easily gotten injured throwing the block.
