Drew Brees sets NFL record with 16th 400-yard passing game

Crusader · 10-16-2016, 05:28 PM

Quarterback Drew Brees set an NFL record with his 16th career 400-yard passing game after throwing for 465 yards in the New Orleans Saints' 41-38 victory over the Carolina Panthers.

He and retired quarterback Peyton Manning had been tied with 15 400-yard passing games entering Week 6's games.
Brees also threw four touchdown passes as the Saints dropped the defending NFC champion Panthers to 1-5 this season.
Brees also reached another milestone in Sunday's game, becoming the sixth player to record 50,000 passing yards with one team.

The other five are Manning (Colts), Brett Favre (Packers), Dan Marino (Dolphins), Tom Brady (Patriots) and John Elway (Broncos).

Surely there is more to come on the quest for the NFL MVP Superbowl Championship.

He is currently on a pace for a 4000 yard season.

He might own every significant record when his career is over with. Let's hope it means something again in these last few years. Today was much more vintage with the explosive plays, and it lead to a win.

Im still disgusted that this man had this good of a day and the D did its best to try and loose. This game shouldn't have even been close.

Since Payton hardly ran the football you can't blame it all on the defense.

If he did the Saints probably wouldn't have won.

If our defense would have been even a little bit better than it has been during Brees career here we would be the Patriots of the NFC.

True but you shouldn't have to score 41 points every week to barely eek out a win.
