Brees takes the record from Dan Marino who had 5,084 yards in 1984, and he still has Week 17 to add to his total. Brees also threw for 5,069 yards in 2008 to be the only quarterback to pass the 5,000 yard mark twice in his career. His four touchdowns on the evening gave him 276 for his career to move him ahead of Joe Montana (273) and Vinny Testeverde (275) for ninth all-time.
