EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Brett Favre became the first player in NFL history to throw 500 touchdown passes, connecting with Randy Moss late in the third quarter of the Minnesota Vikings' loss Monday night to the New York Jets.
The Vikings acquired Moss from the New England Patriots on Wednesday.
Favre also became the first NFL player to reach 70,000 passing yards three plays earlier, when he connected with Percy Harvin for 22 yards. Favre needed 74 passing yards to reach the milestone, and he had mostly struggled through three quarters.
The Jets won, 29-20.
