A delayed block made at or below the knees while the player being blocked is in contact with the blocker's teammate.... That block Favre did was not a chop block.
So once again I am left wondering how it is illegal to hit someone in the legs. I thought football was a contact sport. If you can't handle a block from the ancient Favre you have no business being in the NFL.

What Favre did is called a "crack back" and its illegal in the NFL, which is why he got flagged.
