Tom Brady passed Drew Brees for the most pass completions in the history of the league on Sunday.
Brady threw a 20-yard completion to Mike Evans at the Buffalo 3-yard line just before halftime to break the record. Leonard Fournette ran a 1-yard touchdown to make it 24-3. At Raymond James Stadium, the record was announced and received a standing ovation and applause from teammates.
Heading into Sunday, Brady needed 18 completions to pass the all-time completions record held by Drew Brees.
In an emotional return to New England, Brady overtook the record of 80,358 yards held by Drew Brees, as the New England Pats defeated the New Orleans Saints 19-17. He holds the NFL record for touchdown passes.
Brady matched his personal season record of 21 touchdown passes at home with a 13-yard pass to Evans, who was also on the receiving end of Brady's record-setting pass at New England.
Brady was able to cross the achievement off the list, but the title will have to wait at least another week. They needed the New Orleans Saints to lose to the New York Jets on Sunday in addition to the Atlanta Falcons defeating the Carolina Panthers, but the Saints won.
