Symbolism in Favre, Sanchez comebacks?

ESPN analyst Trent Dilfer marvels at two of the most scintillating comebacks of the year -- overtime triumphs for the Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets -- and views them as a passing of the torch from Brett Favre to Mark Sanchez.

Sanchez replaced Favre as quarterback of the Jets last year. Dilfer sees Sanchez as Favre's possible heir in a grander sense, too.

Dilfer mentions Sunday might be Favre's "last great Superman moment" and predicted Sanchez will "have many of these types of comebacks."
