Brett Favre is the NFL�s only three-time MVP, and his 16 season at Green Bay were more than any other player or coach. In addition to leading the NFL in touchdown passes, Favre also holds the record for career completions, passing attempts, passing yards and wins as a starting quarterback. |
Favre moved ahead of Dan Marino with TD pass No. 421 to Jennings
in 1st quarter and No. 422 to Jones in the 4th quarter during
Game #4 Season 2007 vs Vikings. |
It was also during Game #6 vs Redskins that Farve acquired another NFL record.
