Data Points: Brees takes lead in record chase
Published: November 1st, 2011 | Tags: Data Points, Aaron Rodgers, Dan Marino, Drew Brees, Eli Manning, Tom Brady
Last week, we mentioned that Tom Brady would have to have an absolutely abysmal game in Pittsburgh to drop off the pace to break Dan Marino‘s record for most passing yards in a season. Well, he’s still on pace to shatter that mark of 5,084, but Brady’s bad day actually pushed him down to third on the list of candidates to set the new mark. Drew Brees now tops the list, followed by Aaron Rodgers. And Eli Manning, who faces that porous Patriots pass defense this week, is not far behind. As a reminder, we will continue to update this record chase every week until there are less than three QBs in the hunt.
