When Drew Brees signed with the New Orleans Saints in 2006, I doubt any of us thought just 12 years later he would become the all-time leading passer in the history of the NFL, but that’s just what happened on Monday Night Football in Week 5 of the 2018 season. With his family waiting on the sideline, Brees came on to the field for the Saints’ fourth drive of the night needing just 35 yards to break New Orleans native Peyton Manning’s all-time passing yardage record. The wait would not be a long one, as Brees subsequently hit Tre’Quan Smith for a 62-yard touchdown on the first play of the drive.
