Tom Brady has many NFL records to his name: Super Bowl titles. Regular-season wins, passing yards, passing touchdowns, and regular-season starts are the most notable on his Hall of Fame resume. And now he has another.
After a 15-yard pass to running back Leonard Fournette in the fourth quarter of Tampa Bay’s 16-13 comeback win in Week 9 against the Rams, Brady became the first player in NFL history to concede 100,000 passing yards (including playoffs) achieved in his career.
Here is the list of the top five passing leaders in NFL history (including playoffs):
With this milestone, Brady has now thrown 56.82 miles in his career. That’s over a 24-year span of seven Super Bowl titles and never a worse season than a 9-7.
Brady didn’t have a typical Brady season, completing 65.9% of his passes for 2,267 yards with nine touchdowns to an interception (92.4 rating) in Week 9.
The season hasn’t gone as planned for Brady, but hitting 100,000 yards is an incredible achievement. The next active quarterback closest to 100,000 yards is Matt Ryan (64,415 yards), but he was benched by the Indianapolis Colts last week. Aaron Rodgers is next with 63,054.
For those wondering, Patrick Mahomes is 87th with 24,531 passing yards.
