Tom Brady is now the NFL’s all-time leader in passing yards, breaking the record held by Drew Brees.
Brady fittingly broke the record in his return to New England. The Tampa Bay quarterback hit the 80,359-yard mark on a pass to Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans. A former Texas A&M standout, Evans has been one of Brady’s top targets in his time with the Bucs.
