Favre sets new touchdown record

Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre threw his 421st career touchdown pass against the Minnesota Vikings to move clear of Dan Marino's all-time NFL record.

Favre, in his 17th NFL season and turning 38 next month, tied the mark against San Diego a week ago.

Greg Jennings, who caught the 420th pass, was also on the end of the 421st, a 16 yarder in Minneapolis.

Two weeks ago, Favre led the Packers past the Gianst for his 149th win as a starter, passing John Elway's record.

Marino, who starred for the Miami Dolphins between 1983 to '99, played most of his career before rule changes which made it easier for teams to pass the ball regularly.
