Drew Brees breaks NFL record for most career completions

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is now the all-time leader in pass completions in NFL history.

Entering Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons, Brees was 13 completions shy of Brett Favre's record of 6,300, but Brees completed 14 passes by the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons, breaking the record on a 17-yard completion to Michael Thomas.

Brees, 39, will continue to add to his record in this game and as the season continues. Brees broke this record in his 18th NFL season. Favre played 20 NFL seasons and demolished the completions record previously held by Dan Marino (4,967).
