Brees got plenty of love from NFL players around the league including Tom Brady, who is a few TDs behind Brees on the list.
Congrats drew!! Couldn’t be more deserving. Passing Peyton in anything is an incredible achievement and your records will be tough to beat! But it’s worth trying 😉

On a historic night for @drewbrees seems only fitting that he has also tied the record for completion % in a game at 96.6% (tying Philip Rivers)… Coach Payton – how about 1 more screen pass to make this an even more historic night?? #WhatSayYouWhoDat?

Drew Brees making history, Michael Thomas making history, the best ending to this story would be the Saints in Miami in February 🏈
