Drew Brees makes NFL history, breaks Peyton Manning’s record for the most touchdown passes of all time
On Monday, Drew Brees set himself apart from all other passers in NFL history. But the New Orleans Saints quarterback's singular standing might not be safe for long.
Brees set the record on a 5-yard pass to tight end Josh Hill in the third quarter. He also connected with Michael Thomas on a 15-yard scoring strike and with Tre'Quan Smith on a 21-yard touchdown in the same quarter. Brees initially appeared to have made history on a 5-yard pass to Smith just before halftime, but the receiver was called for offensive pass interference on the play.He added to his tally with a 28-yard third-quarter touchdown to all-purpose threat Taysom Hill.
Brees, however, will have to fend off New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to maintain the record. Brady has 538 career passing touchdowns and could challenge Brees in the final two weeks, starting in his matchup Saturday against the Buffalo Bills.
