New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees continues to place among the NFL's best.

With a 12-yard completion to running back Mark Ingram in the first quarter against the Atlanta Falcons, Brees became the third quarterback in NFL history to throw for 70,000 yards on his career.

Brees joins Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre (71,838) and Payton Manning (71,940) as the only trio to accomplish the feat.

The prolific Saints quarterback has an opportunity to achieve another benchmark in Sunday's game.

Brees entered Week 16 needing 150 yards passing to post his 12th career 4,000-yard passing season, leaving him two behind Manning, who is the league's all-time leader in the category.
