The scoring strike that broke Peyton Manning’s record of 539 career touchdown passes was a 5-yarder to Josh Hill in the third quarter.
Brees finished the game with 541 career TD passes and also set an NFL record for completion percentage in a game at 96.7 by connecting on 29 of 30 passes.
Saints receiver Michael Thomas caught 12 passes for 128 yards and a touchdown. He also set a single-season franchise record by reaching 133 receptions for the season. This breaks his own record of 125 receptions, which was set in 2018.
