Tom Brady made the latest addition to his record collection in the first half against the Jets on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, breezing past Peyton Manning for the most career passing yards across the regular season and the postseason in NFL history.
After throwing for 283 in the Patriots’ 27-13 victory, Brady has a total of 79,416 through 11 games in his 19th season. The 41-year-old quarterback also passed the 3,000-yard mark for the 16th time, tying Manning for second all-time behind Brett Favre’s 18.
Brady threw for two scores, so he needs just two to pass Manning’s 579 for the most total regular season and postseason touchdown tosses.
