Fins/Jets: Keys to Victory - Pennington vs Favre

There's not a lot that needs to be said about how the matchup of the season panned out. Pennington dominated Favre in every way imaginable. His team won the game, he won AFC Offensive Player of the Week, he won Comeback Player of the Year (again), he came in 2nd in MVP Balloting, and most importantly, Miami won the division. Pennington completed more passes than Favre on ten less attempts, and more impressively, had two touchdowns and no picks, to Favre's one TD and three interceptions. The AFC Pro Bowl balloting was a joke, as there was no player more instrumental in Miami setting the record for fewest turnovers (13) in a season than Pennington. Favre, for his part, had 22 picks alone.
