Manning finished with four touchdown throws to run his career total to 510 in what ended as a 42-17 win. Just the way Payton carries himself, the way he raises everyone's level of play. Of the record-setting touchdown, tight end Jacob Tamme said, "Everyone wanted 509, everyone wanted that one. . I'm really enjoying playing here, playing for this organization." "I've discussed with some family and friends recently that certainly didn't think this would even be a possibility a couple of years ago," Manning said after the game. I just wanted to make sure I got my feet down. "I thought before the play I might have a chance,'' Thomas said. The pass gave the Broncos a 21-3 lead in the game. Manning stands alone at the top of the list after an 8-yard touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas with 3:09 remaining in the first half.

That being said, this record isn’t set in stone, as Brady and Brees are likely to battle this one out until one or both retires. This is one of the best records any quarterback could ever have. This record needed to be broken in front of Who Dat Nation. It was a great moment for one of the greatest players in NFL history.

Brees once again carved up the Colts defense, capping off a 12-play, 75-yard touchdown drive by completing a 5-yard touchdown pass to tight end Josh Hill. So we needed the first drive of the second half for Brees to get it done in front of the home crowd. However, that record-setting touchdown was nullified, thanks to a questionable pass interference call on Smith and the Saints again! Unbelievable! They’d have to settle for another Wil Lutz field goal to take a 20-0 lead into halftime. Did he do it? Did he have enough time?įor a minute there, he did, as Brees would connect to Smith again for a five-yard touchdown with merely seconds left.

The Saints went up 10-0 after the made PAT and it was touchdown pass No. Given Thomas’ nature as a most sure-handed receiver, there was no doubt he’d strike pay dirt when Brees threw in his direction from 15 yards out.

Entering play at 10-3 with playoff positioning still on the line, the New Orleans offense got to work very quickly. So it might be a while before the get to don a gold jacket in Canton, Ohio.īut Brees and the Saints still had work to do. Manning is eligible in 2021, while Brady and Brees are still playing.
