Bills LB Moats Rooting For Favre To Be Healthy
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -- Arthur Moats would prefer seeing Brett Favre start his 298th consecutive game this weekend.
The Buffalo Bills rookie linebacker isn't sure he wants to be remembered as the guy who ended the Minnesota Vikings quarterback's NFL-record starting streak.
Moats has become the focus of attention after he hit Favre square in the back and sent him to the turf on the third play from scrimmage in Buffalo's 38-14 loss on Sunday. Favre did not return and was diagnosed with a sprained joint in his throwing shoulder, leaving his status unsure for this weekend's game against the New York Giants.
Moats said on Monday he wasn't intending to hurt Favre, and didn't realize how badly the quarterback was injured until he had trouble getting up.
