Tom Brady Breaks Drew Brees’ All-Time NFL Passing Record vs New England Patriots

Tom Brady came into Sunday night’s game against his former team needing just 68 passing yards to break Drew Brees’ record for the all-time passing yards record.

As expected, Brady broke that record early in the first quarter.

When he took the field of Gillette Stadium on Sunday, this time wearing a Buccaneers’ uniform, he was cheered by his former fan base. When he broke that record, he was cheered even more.

This passing record is just the latest in a long list of records owned by the future Hall of Fame quarterback, who also lays claim to the most Super Bowl rings, most touchdown passes and most wins of any quarteback in NFL history.
