New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is again chasing history, and the Mercedes-Benz Superdome staff are preparing to celebrate with him. Brees is pursuing the all-time passing yards record, and he needs just 201 yards to make it his own. The only players in NFL history with more career passing yards than Brees (71,740) are Brett Favre (71,838) and Peyton Manning (71,940).
Per Rod Walker of the Advocate, the Superdome will change its exterior lighting from pink to black and gold for nine minutes once Brees passes this latest milestone. The iconic Superdome lights are already scheduled to flash in pink in solidarity with the NFL and American Cancer Society’s “Crucial Catch” initiative, raising awareness for cancer research.
