NASHVILLE, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- Brett Favre and Leon Washington accounted for four touchdowns Sunday, keying the New York Jets' 34-13 win over Tennessee, the Titans' first loss this season.

It was the NFC East-leading Jets' fifth win in a row.

Favre completed 25-of-32 passes for 224 yards and his touchdown passes went to Thomas Jones in the first quarter and Laveranues Coles in the third.

Washington, normally a kick returner, rushed for two fourth-quarter scores, one a 61-yard sprint with 11:07 left, and gained 82 yards on eight carries.

Thomas Jones gained 96 yards on 27 carries.

Coles and Jericho Cotchery combined for 13 catches for 143 yards, and Favre established an NFL record with his 14th straight 20-touchdown season in his first year with the Jets (8-3) after a short-lived retirement . He spent his first 13 seasons with Green Bay.

Tennessee's Kerry Collins completed 21-of-39 passes for one touchdown and 243 yards.

Chris Johnson gained 46 yards on 10 carries for the Titans, who were out-gained 409-281 and fell to 10-1.
