[edit] Records [edit] Records and milestones Favre currently possesses most of the well-known NFL career records for quarterbacks, including: - (2nd) Most career playoff pass completions: 438[24] (Montana, 460)[25]
- (2nd) Most career playoff pass attempts: 721[24] (Montana, 734[26])

Favre's 271 consecutive starts breaks the record Jim Marshall had for most consecutive starts by any player at any position.[7]
Favre is the only player to defeat all 32 NFL teams in his career, following his Vikings' victory over the Green Bay Packers on October 5, 2009. In the playoffs, Favre stands behind only Joe Montana in pass completions, passing touchdowns, passing yards and passing attempts. In addition, Favre owns a number of team records, having printed his name into almost every passing category in the annals of Green Bay Packers history. Favre has engineered 43 fourth quarter or overtime victories.[27] [edit] Consecutive starts streak Brett Favre started every game his team played from their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on September 27, 1992.[28] He is currently in first place for the most consecutive starts by a quarterback in the NFL and one of only five quarterbacks to have started over 100 consecutive games in NFL history. Over the streak he failed to finish a game due to injury on only six occasions.[29] Besides Favre, there is only one other active streak of 100 or more games, that is Peyton Manning. During Favre's consecutive start streak, 409 other quarterbacks started for other teams in the NFL,[30] 12 of them being back-ups to Favre at one point.[28] Among his former backups are: Don Majkowski, Ty Detmer, Mark Brunell, Steve Bono, Doug Pederson, Matt Hasselbeck, Danny Wuerffel, Aaron Brooks, J. T. O'Sullivan, and Aaron Rodgers. Two veteran backups to Favre never started another NFL game: Jim McMahon, and T.J. Rubley. The consecutive starts streak is widely considered one of the most notable streaks in sports, so much so that the Pro Football Hall of Fame has as an exhibit displaying the jersey Favre wore during his record breaking 117th consecutive start as a quarterback, and a section of their website devoted to what the Hall of Fame calls an "Iron Man".[31] [edit] Green Bay Packers records | Touchdown passes | | Most seasons leading league, touchdown passes: | 4, 1995-1997, 2003[32] | | Most consecutive seasons leading league, touchdown passes: | 3, 1995-1997[32] | | Most touchdown passes, career: | 442, 1992-2007[32] | | Most touchdown passes, season: | 39, 1996[32] | | Most touchdown passes, game: | 5, 1995, 1997, 1998 (tied with 3 others)[32] | | Most games, 4 or more touchdown passes, career: | 19, 1992-2007[32] | | Most games, 4 or more touchdown passes, season: | 5, 1996[32] | | Most consecutive games, 4 or more touchdown passes: | 2, 1996, 2003[32] | | Most consecutive games, touchdown pass: | 36, 2002-2004[32] | | Yards passing | | Most seasons leading team, yards passing: | 16, 1992-2007[32] | | Most consecutive seasons leading team, yards passing: | 16, 1992-2007[32] | | Most yards passing, career: | 61,655, 1992-2007[32] | | Most seasons, 3,000 or more yards passing: | 16, 1992-2007[32] | | Most consecutive seasons, 3,000 or more yards passing: | 16, 1992-2007[32] | | Most 300 or more passing yard games, career: | 55, 1992-2007[32] | | Most 300 or more passing yard games, season: | 7, 1995, 2007[32] | | Most consecutive 300 or more passing yard games: | 3, 2007 (twice) (Dickey, 3, 1984)[32] | | Longest completed pass: | 99 yards to Brooks, Green Bay vs. Chicago, 1995-09-11[32] | | Pass attempts | | Most seasons leading league, passes attempted: | 3, 1999, 2005-2006 (Herber, 3, 1932, 1934, 1936)[32] | | Most seasons leading team, passes attempted: | 16, 1992-2007[32] | | Most consecutive seasons leading team, passes attempted: | 16, 1992-2007[32] | | Most passes attempted, season: | 613, 2006[32] | | Most passes attempted, career: | 8,754, 1992-2007[32] | | Most passes attempted, game: | 61, 2006, San Francisco vs. Green Bay, 1996-10-14 (28 completions)[32] | | Pass completions | | Most passes completed, career: | 5,377, 1992-2007[32] | | Most passes completed, season: | 372, 2005 (607 attempts)[32] | | Most passes completed, game: | 36, Green Bay vs. Chicago, 1993-12-05 (54 attempts)[32] | | Most consecutive passes completed: | 20, Green Bay vs. Detroit, 2007-11-22[32] | | Completion percentage | | Highest completion percentage, season (140 attempts): | 66.54%, 2007 (356 completions, 535 attempts)[32] | | Had intercepted | | Most passes had intercepted, career: | 286, 1992-2007[32] | | Most passes had intercepted, season: | 29, 2005 (Dickey, 29, 1983)[32] | | Most attempts, no interceptions, game: | 46, Minnesota vs. Green Bay, 2007-11-11 (Majkowski, 46, 1990)[32] | | Times sacked | | Most times sacked, career: | 438, 1992-2007[32] | | Service | | Most seasons, active player: | 16, 1992-2007 (Starr, 16, 1956-1971) | | Most games played, career: | 255, 1992-2007 | | Most consecutive games played: | 255, 1992-2007 | [edit] Lambeau Field records | Most games played: | 119, 1992-2007, 2009[34] | | Most passing yards, career: | 28,028, 1992-2007, 2009[34] | | Most touchdown passes, career: | 213, 1992-2007, 2009[34] | | Most touchdown passes, game: | 5, 1995, 1997 (Horn, 5, 1969; Marino, 5, 1985)[34] | [edit] Perspective For a sense of career perspective, as of Nov 2009 [35],
