INDIANAPOLIS - Green Bay's Brett Favre became the third member of the 4,000-completion club Sunday.
Favre entered the game with 3,999 career completions. He joined Dan Marino and John Elway as the only other players to reach that level when he connected with Javon Walker for a 6-yard completion on the Packers' second offensive play.
Favre ranks third all time in completions. Marino has the record with 4,967 completions, Elway is second at 4,123.
Later in the series, Favre hooked up with Walker on a 36-yard touchdown pass. It marked the 28th straight game Favre has thrown a touchdown, tying Dave Krieg for the third-longest streak in NFL history. Favre broke a fourth-place tie with Peyton Manning and Chris Chandler.
Meanwhile, in the Packers' loss to the Colts, linebacker Nick Rogers left with an ankle injury.
BEARS: Linebacker Brian Urlacher was out with a pulled hamstring, the first time in his career he's been sidelined. Hunter Hillenmeyer started in Urlacher's place. Since becoming a starter in the third game of his rookie season in 2000, Urlacher had started 64 straight games.
COLTS: Safety Idrees Bashir left the game in the third quarter with a groin injury and did not return.
