Vikings slump as Favre forced to look on

CONCUSSION ruled Brett Favre out of his own swansong as his 20-year career in the NFL came to an end yesterday.

The Minnesota Vikings quarterback missed yesterday’s season finale against the Detroit Lions due to an injury suffered against the Chicago Bears two weeks ago. The Vikings’ miserable season ended with a 13-20 defeat in Detroit.

“If the doctors told me he was fine, he could do it,” acknowledged Vikings’ newly-appointed coach Leslie Frazier before the game. “But that injury is more than the physical. That injury is: ‘can I take another hit?’”
