The man of the hour delivered a performance for the ages.
That Drew Brees sure knows how to throw a party, doesn't he?
With the nation watching and a sellout Superdome crowd anticipating a historic evening, Brees delivered one of the hallmark performances of his Hall of Fame career on Monday night, riddling the Washington Redskins for 363 passing yards in a 43-19 rout and breaking Peyton Manning's career passing record in spectacular fashion on a 62-yard bomb to Tre'Quan Smith in the second quarter.
The Superdome has seen its share of magical moments over the years, but few have rivaled the show Brees put on while breaking one of the league's most hallowed records.
