New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees owns another NFL passing record.
Brees’ touchdown pass to Tre’Quan Smith with 6:11 left in the second quarter against the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night was his 539th career touchdown pass, tying Peyton Manning for the most in league history. Brees also passed New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady with that pass; Brady finished his game on Sunday with 538 career touchdown passes.
The record-breaking 540th pass came with 7:08 left in the third quarter. Brees hit tight end Josh Hill all alone in the end zone for a 5-yard score.
