    Favre completes career-high 88 percent in rout of Seahawks

    The doubters lined up to chastise Brett Favre for ending a second retirement to play for the Minnesota Vikings.

    One by one, they have been silenced by the 40-year-old's incredible 10-game start in purple. The most efficient performance of his career may have removed the remaining doubt that he still had.

    Favre completed a career-high 88 percent of his passes for 213 yards and four touchdown passes and the Vikings delivered their most complete performance of the season in a 35-9 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

    Favre completed 22 of his 25 throws for the Vikings (9-1). His previous career high was 85.2 percent against Detroit on Sept. 20. But he has only completed at least 80 percent two other times in his previous 18 seasons.

    Through last season's struggles in New York, another offseason of contemplation and even early in his tenure with the Vikings, Favre admitted on Sunday that he's needed plenty of pep talks from Vikings offensive coordinator and close friend Darrell Bevell to help him with "doubt and maybe some insecurities" because his "confidence was not at a high level."

    Game notes
    The Vikings were 8 of 13 on third downs. The Seahawks were just 1 of 10. ... Seahawks return man Ben Obomanu fumbled a kickoff in the second quarter that led to a Vikings touchdown. ... Shiancoe had eight catches for 78 yards and Harvin had 79 yards receiving.
