🏈 Not long into his highly anticipated return to the stadium he called home for 20 years, Tom Brady took care of a bit of NFL history.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback became the NFL's all-time leader in career passing yardage in the first quarter of Sunday night's game against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium.
Brady entered the night needing 68 yards to surpass Drew Brees' high of 80,358. Brady set the mark on a 28-yard completion to wide receiver Mike Evans.
The record is the latest in a laundry list of historic accomplishments for Brady. The 44-year-old entered Sunday owning the all-time marks for touchdown passes (591), regular-season wins (232) and Super Bowl titles (seven).
Should the Buccaneers win Sunday, Brady would also join Brees, Brett Favre and Peyton Manning as the only quarterbacks in NFL history to beat all 32 teams.
