Packers 33, Bears 6 (October 31, 1994) Playing with a severely bruised hip in a driving rainstorm at Soldier Field on Halloween Night, Brett Favre rushes for a career-high 58 yards – including a 36-yard touchdown in the second quarter when he leaped over a Bears defender. After the game Favre said "Maybe Gale Sayers (who had his number retired that night along with Dick Butkus) got excited about that one,". With a win in that game, Green Bay began a ten-game winning streak against the Bears as Favre was considered a "Bear-killer" by members of the Chicago Bears media and fans alike. This game marked the beginning of two streaks in the series. The Packers would win ten consecutive games in the series (the longest between the two clubs) and also eleven consecutive away games – a streak that would not end until the 2005 season.
