Tom Brady Becomes First QB To Throw 600 TD Passes

Oct 25, 2021 8:49 AM

Tom Brady became the first quarterback in NFL history to reach 600 career touchdown passes in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Chicago Bears.

It happened with 10 seconds left in the first quarter on a 9-yard touchdown throw to Mike Evans.

Brady was greeted with a giant hug from Bruce Arians after the play, while Evans threw the ball to a fan in the stands, not realizing it was a record until Arians told him.

"I said, 'You're gonna have to go give that guy two jerseys to get that ball back,'" Arians joked. "I was like, either get two of Tom's [or two of yours] but you need to get that ball back for him. And he said, 'Does he really want that ball?' And I said, 'I'm betting he wants that ball.'"

A Tampa Bay Buccaneers official was able to retrieve the ball, giving the fan a different one.

"That was really cool. I got it in the bag over there," Brady said. "Mike gave it away. He goes, 'Man, I'm sorry, man. I'll get it.' I said, 'It's alright. I'm sure they'll find a way to get it back.' But I don't actually keep too many things so ... in that circumstance, I just felt like that might be a good one to keep.

"He's gonna get something nice in return. So we'll get him a helmet or a couple jerseys or some other stuff. That was really cool of him to do that."

Derrick Henry On Pace To Break Rushing, Yards From Scrimmage Records

Oct 4, 2021 9:19 AM

Derrick Henry is on pace to break two major NFL records through four weeks.

So far this season Henry has 113 carries for 510 yards and 14 catches for 125 yards, which gives him 127 touches and 635 yards from scrimmage this season for the Tennessee Titans.

With some help from the new 17-game season, that puts Henry on record pace in four statistical categories: carries, rushing yards, touches and yards from scrimmage.

Tom Brady Overtakes Drew Brees As NFL's All-Time Yardage Leader

Oct 4, 2021 10:57 AM

Tom Brady broke the NFL's all-time passing yardage mark at Gillette Stadium on Sunday night.

With 80,291 career passing yards heading into the game against the New England Patriots -- his first trip back to Foxborough since his departure in 2020 -- Brady needed 68 more to eclipse Drew Brees' 80,358.

Brady broke the record with a 28-yard completion to Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans in the first quarter.

"I just think it's an amazing statistic in that so many people can share in it with me," Brady said. "Quarterback doesn't throw and catch. Quarterback can just throw it. It's yards. Passing yards have to be caught, so I just hope that everybody who caught passes from me over the years just had a little smile on their face tonight knowing they contributed to a very cool record.

"There are some people who have kind of preceded it by name. Drew Brees, who I look up to, is a hell of a guy, great player. Peyton Manning -- one of my all-time favorites -- Brett Favre, Dan Marino, but obviously, my teammates who caught all these passes over the years mean an awful lot to me."
