According to Wiki, Brett’s very first-ever pass in the NFL was picked off. From Wiki: “ Favre’s first pass in an NFL regular season game resulted in an interception returned for a touchdown. He only attempted four passes in his career at Atlanta, was intercepted twice, and completed none of them.” So it seems oddly appropriate that he ends his career with a pick. Perfect bookended career.

That is why you shouldn’t use Wiki. Favre’s first NFL pass was a completion — to himself!
