SATISFACTION
Tom Brady has many NFL records to his name: Super Bowl titles. Regular season wins, yards, touchdowns and starts are the highlights of his Hall of Fame resume. And now he has another one.
After completing a 15-yard pass to running back Leonard Fournette in the fourth quarter of Tampa Bay’s Week 9 comeback 16-13 win over the Rams, Brady became the first player in NFL history to to reach 100,000 passing yards in his career (including the playoffs).
Here is the list of the top five passing leaders in NFL history (including the playoffs):
With this milestone, Brady has now thrown 56.82 miles in his career. That’s during a 24-year stretch with seven Super Bowl titles and never having a season worse than 9-7.
Brady hasn’t had a typical Brady season, completing 65.9 percent of his passes for 2,267 yards with nine touchdowns to one interception (92.4 rating) in Week 9.
The season hasn’t gone as planned for Brady, but reaching 100,000 yards is an incredible feat. The next closest active quarterback to 100,000 yards is Matt Ryan (64,415 yards), but he was snubbed 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.
