Brett Favre said he and his teammates can't brush off the Green Bay Packers' 35-7 loss to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Sunday simply because it was played in extreme conditions.Asked on Wednesday if he sensed that some of his teammates lost concentration because of the weather, Favre said yes - a surprise, given the team's success all season and the potential playoff ramifications of Sunday's game.
"I'm sure there were some guys on our team who thought, 'What did I get myself into?,"' Favre said. "I don't think anyone knew what we were up against from a weather standpoint. And I think being a real young team, it probably was a little bit of a shock to them."
As cold as it gets in Green Bay, chances are the Packers won't face such an extreme combination of wind and cold again. After the game, Favre said it was the worst conditions he'd played in during his 17-year NFL career.
