Favre sets NFL straight-starts record

DETROIT -- Brett Favre has another NFL record.

Favre started Sunday for the 271st straight time in the regular season, playing for the Minnesota Vikings against the Detroit Lions. He handed off to running back Adrian Peterson after taking his first snap.

Defensive end Jim Marshall had the previous mark, starting 270 games in a row for Minnesota from 1961-1979.
