Drew Brees Sets Record For Most Career Touchdown Passes

Dec 17, 2019 4:19 PM

Drew Brees broke Peyton Manning's career touchdown record with a 5-yard pass to Josh Hill midway through the third quarter on Monday night.

The connection with Hill gave him 540 touchdown passes for his career.

Brees tied Tom Brady with his 538th career TD thanks to a 15-yard pass to Michael Thomas early in the second quarter. He then tied Manning's record at 539 with a 21-yard TD throw to Tre'Quan Smith midway through the second quarter.

Brees also made NFL history by registering a 96.7 completion percentage as the New Orleans Saints trounced the Indianapolis Colts 34-7.

"Listen, it was special, everything about the night," Brees said. "I don't know how they pick 'em. Monday Night Football, playing the Colts, the team that we won the Super Bowl against 10 years ago. So the whole Super Bowl XLIV team is back for the 10th anniversary. And, obviously, national television, big game, and now that record in the balance, as well. It just kind of makes you shake your head. 'Are you kidding me?'"

Lamar Jackson Breaks Michael Vick's Single-Season Rushing Record

Dec 13, 2019 8:34 AM

Lamar Jackson made NFL history in Thursday night's victory over the New York Jets.

Jackson broke Michael Vick's single-season rushing record by a quarterback on the Baltimore Ravens' opening drive.

"It's pretty cool," Jackson said. "My favorite player growing up. It's amazing, and I'm going to cherish that forever and just got to keep it going. Records are made to be broken, like he said. I heard him say that, and it's an honor for me to do it."

The second-year quarterback entered Thursday's game needing 23 yards to surpass Vick's mark of 1,039 yards set in 2006. That record was shattered on Jackson's third run of the game.
