CHICAGO, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Brett Favre passed for 285 yards and the Green Bay defense scored twice on interceptions Sunday as the Packers beat the Chicago Bears, 26-7.

Favre, playing in what could be his final game, went 21-of-42 passing with an interception and was carried off the field by teammate Donald Driver with just over a minute left.

"If it is my last game, I want to remember it," Favre said on the field during a television interview after the game.

He said he will decide soon whether he wants to keep playing.

Ruvell Martin had seven catches for 118 yards for the Packers (8-8), who ended the season with four straight wins.

Rex Grossman struggled for the Bears, committing four turnovers. He went just 2-of-12 passing for 33 yards with three interceptions and a fumble before being replaced in the second half.

Chicago still enters the post-season as the top team in the NFC.
