Drew Brees will likely be the man of the hour tonight as he looks to make NFL history. Brees finds himself only 201 yards away from passing legendary quarterback Peyton Manning for the most career passing yards ever by a player. As CBS Sports’ Kevin Skiver pointed out, Brees has passed for at least 200 yards in a whopping 92 percent of his home starts as the quarterback of the New Orleans Saints, so it’s a safe bet that Brees reaches that mark tonight.
Reports state that the NFL and the Saints will pause the game if/when Brees breaks the record to commemorate.
