Drew Brees reacts to throwing 500th touchdown pass

BALTIMORE -- Drew Brees reached another milestone on Sunday, something that's becoming old hat for the New Orleans Saints quarterback.

In the second quarter of Sunday's win over the Baltimore Ravens, Brees threw his 500th career touchdown, joining a legendary group with Peyton Manning (539), Brett Favre (508) and Tom Brady (504).

"Obviously, it's a significant milestone, but I'm just focused on winning football games and if I just keep it very focused, then I think those things, they tend to happen," Brees said after the game. "Listen, I will forever be grateful for the opportunities I've had in the NFL, to play this game, to play on the teams that I've had a chance to play on, the teammates, the coaches, they're the ones that have made this so rewarding.
