Brett Favre is the all-time leader in consecutive starts by an NFL quarterback, spanning 19 total seasons of pro football.

This is a list of the most consecutive starts by a quarterback in the NFL. Only eight quarterbacks in NFL history have been able to achieve regular season streaks of at least 100 games,[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] with only two of those with a regular season streak of at least 200 games.[11][12] Tom Brady is the only quarterback to have two separate streaks of at least 100 consecutive regular season games.[10]

Brett Favre has held the record since November 7, 1999 when he made his 117th consecutive start against the Chicago Bears.[13] His consecutive starts streak is also the longest all-time for a non-special teams player.[14] On December 5, 2010 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).[15][16]

Following is the list of quarterbacks to achieve the longest consecutive regular season starts at the quarterback position.
