One reason, of course, is that he hasn't started a game of any kind since the Senior Bowl in January 2004. But another reason is the quarterback scheduled to open Saturday for Green Bay.</blockquote>
<blockquote><font class="newstext">Brett Favre has started 221 consecutive regular-season games for the Packers (241 including postseason), a record streak that began Sept. 27, 1992. Rivers – who was 10 at the time – next month will become the 13th quarterback to start for the Chargers since that date.</font></blockquote>
