Drew Brees congratulates Tom Brady on breaking passing record

Tom Brady officially passed Drew Brees for the all-time passing record in Sunday's Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. New England Patriots matchup.

Brady achieved the feat in the first quarter against his former team at Gillette Stadium. The completion to Bucs wideout Mike Evans put Brady past Brees' previous record of 80,358 yards.

Brees, who was in Foxboro with the NBC "Sunday Night Football" crew, congratulated Brady with a thoughtful Instagram post.

Here's what the former New Orleans Saints quarterback wrote:
