Favre illegal hit

Quarterback Brett Favre created perhaps a bigger buzz with a block than he did directing the Vikings offense in a 17-10 victory over the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium on Monday night.

Favre’s illegal block to safety Eugene Wilson’s knees drew a 15-yard penalty and was a hot topic inside the locker room afterward

Brett Favre made his second preseason start with the Vikings on Monday night, playing deep into the third quarter of Minnesota’s 17-10 win against the Houston Texans. He finished the game 13-of-18 passing for 142 yards and a touchdown, but the play that’s going to get the most attention and scrutiny isn’t one of his passes, but a dangerous crackback block he threw at Texans safety Eugene Wilson with 4:50 to play in the third quarter.

Favre began the play lined up at wide receiver as the Vikings attempted to run out of the ‘Wildcat’ formation with first-round pick Percy Harvin stationed at quarterback in the shotgun. As Harvin carried the ball around the left end, Favre came in low at Wilson.
