Vikes Pluck Seahawks, 35-9. Favre sets more records! Vikes, 9-1.

It was quite the day for #4. Not only did Favre throw 4 TDs to four different receivers - Percy Harvin, Visanthe Shiancoe, Bernard Berrian and Sidney Rice, but he set a single-game completion percentage record of 88% (22 of 25 passes for 213 yards) - a personal record and a Minnesota Vikings' franchise record.

Favre commented, "Getting back to that confidence that I had when I didn't know any better, that was pretty good. And I'm feeling more confident. I'm more of a realist at this age, but that doesn't mean you can't go out there and turn it loose."

Oh - it was Brett's second four-touchdown game in the last three weeks, and the 22nd of his career, passing Dan Marino for the most in NFL history. Favre upped his QB rating to 112.1...#1 in the NFL.
"This ain't too bad - sittin' out the 4th quarter!" 4 TDS and three more records and Favre didn't even play the 4th quarter, pulled in favor of Tavaris Jackson taking over the QB reins. And SKOL! to the Vikings defense, which has now gone 33 games without allowing an opposing rusher to gain 100 yards on the ground.

NEXT WEEK: Seattle Seahawks (3-7) @ Minnesota Vikings (9-1).

Left to right: Berrian(87), Rice(18) and Shiancoe(81) celebrating Rice's TD. Each were the recipient of a Brett Favre TD, as well as Percy Harvin. SKOL FAVRE! SKOL VIKINGS!
