Brett Favre threw four touchdown passes as the Vikings pummeled a listless Giants team, 44-7, to close out the regular- season on a high note.

Favre ended with 316 yards passing on 25-of-31 attempts and notched 30-plus TD passes for the ninth time in his career — an NFL record — while going over 4,000 yards passing for a sixth time.

Sidney Rice caught six passes for 112 yards and two of those scores while Visanthe Shiancoe totaled 94 yards on seven receptions with a touchdown.

Adrian Peterson ran for a score and 54 yards on nine touches for Minnesota (12-4), which will have to wait until later in the day to find out its playoff seeding thanks to a December slide.

Eli Manning completed a high percentage of passes despite the blowout but also threw an interception and lost a fumble. He finished 17-of-23 for 141 yards.

Third-year running back Danny Ware logged his first NFL touchdown to represent the only points for New York (8-8), which was eliminated from playoff contention with last week’s equally humiliating 41-9 shellacking by Carolina in the team’s final game at Giants Stadium.
