Brett Favre holds the record for most consecutive starts by a quarterback.
In the history of the National Football League, there have been twelve starts streaks of at least 100 consecutive games by eleven different quarterbacks, with four of those with a regular season streak of at least 200 games.[1][2]
Brett Favre has held the record since November 7, 1999 when he made his 117th consecutive start against the Chicago Bears.[3] His consecutive starts streak is also the longest all-time for a non-special teams player.[4] On December 5, 2010, playing for the Minnesota Vikings against the Buffalo Bills, Favre was knocked out of the game on the first drive with a sprained SC joint injury to his right shoulder, caused by a hit from linebacker Arthur Moats. After a snowstorm delayed the following Sunday's game against the New York Giants to Monday, December 13, Favre was ruled inactive, ending his streak at a record 297 games (321 including playoffs).[5][6]
Below is a list of the top 25 quarterbacks to achieve the longest consecutive regular season starts at their position.
