Tom Brady Ties Dan Marino for 3rd on NFL's All-Time Touchdown-Pass List

Tom Brady threw his 420th career passing touchdown against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, tying Dan Marino for third place on the NFL's all-time list.

Bleacher Report shared the news:

NFL.com shared video of the play (0:57 mark):

Brady, 38, now trails only Brett Favre (508) and Peyton Manning (539) in career touchdown passes. He is also fifth in all-time passing yards behind Manning, Favre, Marino and Drew Brees.

The milestone did come as the Patriots suffered their first loss of 2015, with Denver pulling off a 30-24 come-from-behind overtime win. Brady more than held up his side of the equation with three touchdowns, no interceptions and 280 yards through the air, a feat even more impressive considering he didn't have Julian Edelman or Danny Amendola due to injuries. 

Tying Marino is another notch on the belt for Brady, who has made a strong case to be remembered as the greatest quarterback to ever play the game. The 10-time Pro Bowler, three-time Super Bowl MVP and two-time regular-season MVP has led the New England Patriots to four Super Bowl titles and 12 playoff appearances.

It will likely be at least two more years before Brady challenges Favre for second on the NFL's career passing touchdown list. 

Using Brady's current pace of 1.91 touchdown passes per game, he would reach Favre's mark in just over 46 games, or midway through the 2018 season. On that pace, he'd reach Manning in 2019. 

The good news is Brady seems likely to add to his resume, as he indicated during a WEEI radio interview in late October that he wants to play for many years to come (via Mike Reiss of ESPN.com): 

"

There's nothing like playing football. It's a big challenge and a big commitment to make. I think that's something I'm excited about. There's nothing I love to do [more] than running out and playing football. Just because someone says, 'You should stop playing at this age, or this age, because that's what people have done before you,' I don't really buy that.

"

That's exciting news for New England, as Brady has shown no signs of slowing down, and his play hasn't diminished despite his age. It's not good news for the rest of the NFL, however, as Brady and head coach Bill Belichick's New England dynasty seems likely to continue for a few more years.
