Tom Brady Surpasses Peyton Manning for No. 2 All-Time in Career Passing Yards

The 42-year-old quarterback is in 2nd place for all time passing yards

New England Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady now holds the distinction of second place for all-time career passing yards in the NFL. Brady entered tonight’s game against the New York Giants with 71,923 yards in his career, and after throwing a 19-yard pass to Sony Michel and a seven-yard screen pass to Josh Gordon, Brady has surpassed Peyton Manning’s 71,940 career passing yards. 

Now sitting in second place, Brady will soon be on the heels of New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees. Brees has 74,845 career passing yards, and as he’s still injured, who knows when his numbers will change?
