Tom Brady Climbs to No. 3 on NFL's All-Time Passing Yards List During Week 5 Win
Another game, another career milestone for New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. During Sunday's 33-7 win over the Washington Redskins, Brady surpassed Brett Favre for third place all-time in career passing yards. Favre has 71,838 career passing yards, and after Brady threw for 348 yards vs. the Redskins, he now has 71,846.
Peyton Manning is second all-time in passing yards, with 71,863, which puts Brady just 17 yards shy of him. One would have thought Brady would have claimed that spot on the list late in the Week 5 game, but he was pulled from the game with 7:03 left in the 4th quarter in favor of rookie QB Jarrett Stidham because of the hefty lead the Patriots had.
No. 1 on the all-time passing list is New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees, who has 74,845 yards and counting. Brees is currently on IR, so his chance to add onto his total won't come for a while.
