Favre got into a heated exchange with Childress on the sideline during the game. "Yeah, there was a heated discussion, I guess you would call it," Favre said of the exchange.

Favre added, "We were up 7-6. Yeah, it's not 70-6, but we're up 7-6. So I said, 'I'm staying in the game, I'm playing.' I don't know if it was exactly to protect me, or we had seven points, I'm not sure. That's his call. But we talked it out..."
