Tribune News ServicesMINNEAPOLIS -- The Bears will be catching Brett Favre at the top of his game next Sunday.
Favre added a few more records to his overcrowded resume today, completing a career-best 88 percent of his passes for Minnesota against Seattle. He was replaced by Tarvaris Jackson late in the third quarter with the Vikings en route to a 35-9 victory.
Favre went 22 for 25 to also set Minnesota's single-game franchise record for completion percentage. Randall Cunningham held the previous mark, 84 percent in 1998 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Favre also had his 22nd career four-touchdown passing game, passing Dan Marino for most in NFL history.
