Brady Becomes 4th Quarterback to Toss 450 Career Touchdown Passes
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady became just the fourth quarterback in NFL history to throw for 450 touchdown passes in a career during Monday's game against the Baltimore Ravens, per Sportsnet Stats. Only Peyton Manning (539), Brett Favre (508) and Drew Brees (458) have thrown more.
Brady's 450th touchdown pass came on a 79-yard bomb to wide receiver Chris Hogan in the fourth quarter that turned out to be the deciding score in the team's 30-23 victory. He completed 25 of his 38 pass attempts for 406 yards, three touchdowns and an interception.
The 406 passing yards also surged Brady ahead of Favre for the most career passing yards at a single stadium, per Elias Sports Bureau (via ESPN). He's now thrown for a total of 28,464 yards over 109 games at Gillette Stadium, topping Favre's previous mark of 28,240 yards in 120 games at Lambeau Field.
In addition, Brady also became the fifth quarterback to throw for 400 yards multiple times on Monday Night Football and has now thrown 10 touchdown passes of at least 70 yards.
Each of the touchdowns came to a different receiver, with the longest occurring in the Patriots' 2011 season opener on Monday Night Football against the Miami Dolphins. It came on a connection with Wes Welker for a 99-yard score in Brady's only other 400-yard effort on Monday night.
The Patriots' victory also marked Brady's 100th career victory at home in his career, per ESPN Stats & Info. He owns the best home win percentage (.861) in NFL history among quarterbacks with at least 40 home starts.
Brady continues to rack up accolades on a weekly basis on his way to Canton and the Pro Football Hall of Fame. While he's now 39 years old, the veteran signal-caller still appears to have plenty left in the tank as the Patriots take aim at their fifth Super Bowl victory with him under center.
