MINNEAPOLIS — Brett Favre completed a career-high 88 percent of his passes for 213 yards and four touchdown passes Sunday as Minnesota delivered its most complete performance of the season in a 35-9 victory over Seattle.

Nate Burleson had six catches for 100 yards for Seattle (3-7), which rushed for a franchise-low 4 yards on 13 carries. The injury-ravaged Seahawks have lost seven of their last nine to fade from contention in the NFC West.

Patriots 31, Jets 14

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Leigh Bodden had three of the four interceptions thrown by Mark Sanchez and New England’s defense allowed just one touchdown and 226 yards. The victory gave them a two-game lead in the AFC East and sent the Jets to their sixth loss in seven games.Tom Brady completed 28-of-41 passes for 310 yards, his fifth straight game with more than 300.

Lions 38, Browns 37

DETROIT — An ailing Matthew Stafford threw his fifth touchdown pass from 1 yard to Brandon Pettigrew, and Jason Hanson’s extra point with no time on the clock gave Detroit the victory.

Detroit was given the untimed play because safety Hank Poteat was called for pass interference in the end zone when Stafford heaved a desperation attempt. Stafford was hit after his throw to the end zone and appeared to hurt his left shoulder or chest area.

He was replaced by Daunte Culpepper.

The Browns, though, gave Stafford a chance to get back in the game by calling a timeout with the ball at the 1-yard line.

Stafford returned and connected with fellow rookie Pettigrew to snap Detroit’s six-game losing streak.

Raiders 20, Raiders 17

OAKLAND, Calif. — Bruce Gradkowski threw a 29-yard tying touchdown pass to Louis Murphy with 33 seconds left and Sebastian Janikowski kicked a 33-yard field goal after Andre Caldwell fumbled the ensuing kickoff. The Bengals (7-3) have lost all 10 games they have played at Oakland, including one playoff game.

Cardinals 21, Rams 13

ST. LOUIS — Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner spent the second half pacing the sideline after taking a blow to the head, still in uniform but shut down for the day. Warner threw for 203 yards and two touchdowns while building a 21-3 cushion for the Cardinals.

Rams quarterback Marc Bulger also suffered a blow to the head late in the game and will be evaluated today.

Cowboys 7, Redskins 6

ARLINGTON, Texas — Tony Romo led a single scoring drive, hitting Patrick Crayton for a 10-yard touchdown pass with 2:41 left to preserve first place in the NFC East.

Packers 30, 49ers 24

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers threw touchdowns to Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson, and Ryan Grant rushed for 129 yards and a score.

Rodgers was 32-of-45 for 344 yards, including 274 in the first half as the Packers took a 23-3 lead.

Jaguars 18, Bills 15

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — David Garrard’s second game-winning drive in as many weeks gave the Jaguars their first three-game winning streak in nearly two years. Garrard threw a touchdown pass to Mike Sims-Walker with 56 seconds remaining, spoiling Perry Fewell’s debut as interim coach of the Bills (3-7).
