Brett Favre has held the record since November 7, 1999 when he made his 117th consecutive start against the Chicago Bears. His consecutive starts streak is also the longest all - time for a non-special teams player. On December 5, 2010, playing for the Minnesota Vikings against the Buffalo Bills, Favre was knocked out of the game on the first drive with a sprained SC joint injury to his right shoulder, caused by a hit from linebacker Arthur Moats. After a snowstorm delayed the following Sunday 's game against the New York Giants to Monday, December 13, Favre was ruled inactive, ending his streak at a record 297 games ( 321 including playoffs ). Below is a list of the top 25 quarterbacks to achieve the longest consecutive regular season starts at their position.
