On Sunday the big news was that Peyton Manning broke Tom Brady’s NFL record for touchdown passes in a single season (with 51). So what does Brady think of it?! Check out what he had to say…
Via ESPN:
Tom Brady on Monday had nothing but praise for Peyton Manning a day after the Denver Broncos quarterback broke his record for touchdown passes in a season.
Manning set a record when he tossed his fourth touchdown pass of the game Sunday against theHouston Texans — and 51st this season — on a scoring strike to tight end Julius Thomas in a blowout victory, which clinched the AFC West title for the Broncos.
“It’s an incredible feat,” Brady said in a radio interview with the “Dennis & Callahan show” on WEEI sports radio in Boston. “To throw 50 like we did in 2007 was incredible. [Dan] Marino threw 48, then Peyton threw 49, and I was lucky enough to be on the team to throw 50.
“And 51 is unbelievable through 15 games, they’ve been throwing at an incredible pace, and what they’ve done offensively and certainly in the passing game has been incredible.”
…
“It’s hard to throw one in a game, and to throw four, five or six, like what he’s done over this year,” he said. “I remember in 2007 we were throwing them, and I was like, ‘Oh my god.’ You play all these years where you have not a lot of touchdown passes, and all of a sudden you’re throwing four a game. It’s pretty incredible.”
