Tom Brady closes in on another NFL record after Sunday's performance against Miami

Tom Brady is going to continue to set records or get close to many until the day he retires from the NFL.

Sunday’s game against Miami was Brady’s 9th career game with 5 touchdown passes or more, which is now tied for the 2nd most in NFL history. He tied Peyton Manning and needs just 2 to tie Drew Brees for the most in league history.

Even better, of those 9 career games, 4 of them have come after he turned 40.

Today marks Tom Brady’s 9th career game with 5 Pass TD, tied for the 2nd-most in NFL history (Drew Brees 11, Peyton Manning 9).
