It was an emotional night in the Mercedes Benz Superdome last night as the Saints Drew Brees became the NFL’s all-time passing yards leader. He surpassed Peyton Manning’s record on a 62-yard touchdown pass. Once he broke the record late in the first half in a 43-19 rout of Washington, Brees also thought about the people who are no longer here to see him reach this milestone.

Brees passed both Brett Farve and Manning last night.

The win also improves New Orleans record to 4-1 heading into the bye week. The Saints next game is October 21st in Baltimore against the Ravens. Brees is 0-4 all-time against the Ravens. It’s the one franchise he’s yet to beat. Kick-off for that game is at 3:05.
