Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints chasing more than Dan Marino's NFL passing record

Well, the chase is on again.

This time, there are four quarterbacks, all of them Super Bowl MVPs, chasing a record hung up 27 years ago by a quarterback who never won a Super Bowl.

Will someone catch Dan Marino and that majestic number he hung up in 1984, which happens to be 5,084?

That's 5,084 passing yards for a regular season, which Marino accomplished as quarterback of the Miami Dolphins.

Three years ago, our town's Drew Brees brought the number back to life when he threw for 5,069 yards for the Saints, the closest anyone has come to the NFL milestone.

Three years later, with 4,368 passing yards behind him, Brees finds himself the lead chaser.

His challenge: Average 239 passing yards in the three remaining regular-season games (Vikings, Falcons, Panthers), and the record is his.

In the first 13 games, Brees has failed to throw for 239 yards only once.
