Tom Brady Makes NFL History, Passes Drew Brees On All-Time Passing

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady hits milestones with every game he plays in. The New England Patriots are playing the New York Jets, and Brady plays his best football. The quarterback connected with Phillip Dorsett on a 25-yard touchdown pass for a 13-0 score against the Jets in the first quarter. This was Brady’s 523^rd touchdown, and he passes Drew Brees for second on the all-time list.

Brady won’t retire in near future, and we can already see him hitting other milestones. There’s an ongoing debate about the GOAT in the NFL, and we know it’s Brady. Just take a look at his numbers. Ben Watson knows that, too.

“I would say I just grew tremendously (playing win both QB’s),” Watson said. “It’s amazing how much you can grow as a player when you have the right coach, the right system, the right offensive coordinator, but also the right quarterback. Certain quarterbacks — really there is a certain gene in a lot of quarterbacks that makes them compete and makes them want to perfect their craft with other players. With Tom and with Drew, if it’s staying after practice and running extra routes, if they’re on a pitch count and they say “Bump the pitch count, I’ve got to get this right with my guys,” they’ll do that. It’s in the meeting rooms, when you’re running a route in a meeting room and we’re watching it on film, and they’d like you to break it a little bit earlier. Even if in the textbook it says to break it at five yards, and they say, ‘You know what, I need you to break it here and I’ll be ready to throw you the ball.’ It’s them vocalizing that. As a player receiving that, it helps you to grow as a player, and in your relationship with them.

“That’s what those guys do and it benefits them because they’ve been in the same offense for a long time — so they kind of have their own spin on it — but they also know how to communicate and coach the players that they’re going to be playing with from year to year, because that always changes.”
