Drew Brees Breaks Peyton Manning’s Career Passing Yards Record
Drew Brees broke Peyton Manning’s record to become the N.F.L.’s leader in career passing yards, breaking the mark in the second quarter of a 43-19 win over the Washington Redskins on Monday.
Brees, the prolific New Orleans Saints quarterback who is in his 18th season, came into the game in third place, behind both Manning’s 71,940 and Brett Favre’s 71,838. He passed Favre with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Josh Hill, and then exceeded Manning’s total with a 62-yard catch-and-run by Tre-Quan Smith.
