As the telecast went on and the announcers played clips of Manning congratulating Brees and a series of “tweets” flashed on the screen from this guy to that guy offering congrats as well, I couldn’t help but think that the NFL rules are designed in such a way that this record will be broken sooner rather than later.
At one time Dan Marino held the record for most passing yards. That is not a surprise but what is a surprise is who he passed. When Marino took over the record he passed Fran Tarkenton.
