Drew Brees needs 201 passing yards on Monday night to replace Peyton Manning (71,940 yards) as the NFL's all-time passing yardage leader. At a time when journeyman Ryan Fitzpatrick is setting records for 400-yard passing games (and still getting benched), this may not come off as the most impressive record a quarterback can set, but it has always been a prestigious one.
Barring the unthinkable, the NFL's 99th season will end with Brees as the all-time passing king. With the way he has started this 2018 season, Brees may be able to push the record to a place that allows him to reign longer than anyone ever has.
