A day after losing to the Steelers, Brett Favre lost a pass completion, too. An official scoring change made Monday took away one of Favre's completions during Minnesota's 27-17 loss to the Steelers on Sunday. Favre officially completed 33 of 50 passes, not 34 of 51. Favre was errantly given a completion for no yards to Sidney Rice with 8:16 remaining on an apparent 10-yard touchdown pass play that was nullified by a 10-yard tripping penalty on tight end Jeff Dugan. Rice ended with 10 catches for 136 yards, not 11 catches.
