Drew Brees and Tom Brady Both Broke the NFL Record for Passing Yards In A Season

Drew Brees and Tom Brady both broke Dan Marino's record for 5084 passing yards in one season. Before this season only 2 guys had 5000 or more passing yards in a season. Drew Brees had 5069 passing yards in 2008 and Marino had 5084 in 1984. This year 3 guys broke 5000 yards. Brees holds the record now with 5476 passing yards, Brady had 5235 which also broke the old record and Matthew Stafford had 5038 passing yards. 

Drew Brees: Drew Brees broke the record in Week 16 for passing yards in a season. Brees passed for 5476 passing yards in this season, 392 more than Marino had in 1984. Brees also broke his he set in 2009 and Ken Anderson completion percent on the season. Brees had a completion percent of 71.2%, .6 more percent than the old record. He also had more completions than anyone in one season in history. He broke Peyton Manning record of 450 which was set last year with 468 completions this year. He is on his way to break Johnny Unitas record of 47 straight games with at least one TD pass. He currently has 43 games in a row and would probably break it in the 5 game next year. He passed for 46 TDs this season which is 4th most all-time and only 4 behind Tom Brady's record of 50 set in 2007. He helped the Saints win 13 games and win the NFC South for the 3rd time and 4th playoff appearance since 2006 when he came in New Orleans. He and the Saints have another chance to win the Super Bowl this year. I expect him to play hard to try to capture that second Super Bowl Title. 

Tom Brady: Tom Brady broke the old record in Week 17 for passing yards in a season. Brees passed for 5235 passing yards in this season, 151 more than Marino had in 1984 and 241 yards behind Brees. He is on his way to break Johnny Unitas record of 47 straight games with at least one TD pass. He currently has 32 games which if he has at least one TD pass in each game next he would break the old record but Drew Brees probably will have already broke it.  He passed for 39 TDs this season. He had 401 completion this season which is tied with Kurt Warner for the 9th most all-time. His last TD pass of the season was his 300th of his career. He tied John Elway for 5th all-time to become on the 6th player ever to pass for 300 TDs. He is still 208 TDs passes short of Favre's record.  He helped the Patroits win 13 games and win the AFC North for the 9th  time since 2001 when he started his career. He and the Patriots have another chance to win the Super Bowl this year. I expect him to play hard to try to make it back to the Super Bowl for the 5th time and win the 4th Super Bowl Title in his career. He needs to step up this year after losing the first game of the playoffs the last two years.
