Drew Brees breaks Peyton Manning's record for most career TD passes

NEW ORLEANS -- Drew Brees made NFL history again Monday night.

Brady is two back at 538.

Brees tied Brady's mark with a 15-yard pass to Michael Thomas early in the second quarter. Then he tied Manning's record at 539 with a 21-yard TD throw to Tre'Quan Smith midway through the second quarter.
