Was NFC Championship loss Brett Favre's last game?

NEW ORLEANS: Battered and beaten, Brett Favre limped off the field for perhaps the final time.

His head down, the pained look on his face was brought on as much by a head-scratching turnover as it was by a bone-crunching hit from Bobby McCray.

With the NFC Championship game tied, the Minnesota Vikings close to field goal range and mere seconds left, Favre made the kind of mistake he had avoided all season. He committed the No 1 no-no for an NFL quarterback when he threw the ball late and back over the middle toward Sidney Rice and Tracy Porter stepped in front to intercept the pass on Sunday.
