In what could be the penultimate game of the regular season for Drew Brees’ career in the Hall of Fame, he is marking another milestone.
Brees became the first player in NFL history to spawn more than 80,000 passing yards.
Bucs quarterback Tom Brady, with 78,457 yards, can reach and overtake Brees next year if Brees does retire.
Brady and Brees were coming and going in touchdowns, but current Brady has 573 against Brees’ 568. Brees has none today.
Brees lost four games with 11 fractured ribs and a collapsed lung. It still appears to be less than 100 percent.
