NFL legend Tom Brady is closing in on an unprecedented record as he could reach 100,000 passing yards in his career when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
Brady is just 164 yards shy of the milestone - which account for both regular season and playoffs - and the mark will undoubtedly add another layer to his greatness ahead of his contemporaries. It is a remarkable sign of the 45-year-old’s endurance as he looks to lead the Bucs to a crucial win over the Super Bowl champion Rams in Florida.
Arguably more so than any other mark the seven-time Super Bowl champion has reached, the achievement of 100,000 passing yards is truly incredible. The only other quarterbacks with more than 70,000 combined passing yards are retired: Drew Brees (85,724), Peyton Manning (79,279), Brett Favre (77,693) and Ben Roethlisberger (70,060).
