NEW ORLEANS -- Drew Brees became the third -- and fastest -- quarterback in NFL history to reach 70,000 career passing yards with a 12-yard screen pass to Mark Ingram on Sunday.
The New Orleans Saints star joins Peyton Manning and Brett Favre as the only QBs to ever reach that milestone. And Brees is now less than 2,000 yards away from Manning's all-time record of 71,490 -- which he should break by midseason next year.
Brees, who turns 39 in January, is also in range to become the NFL's all-time leader in touchdown passes if he plays at least two more years.
