Brees connected with Josh Hill early in the third quarter to give the Saints a 27-0 lead, and it made Brees the league's all-time leader in touchdown passes.

Brees entered the night two touchdown passes shy of Manning's 539 total. Tom Brady of the New England Patriots stands pat at 538, and will likely surpass Manning next week and jockey alongside Brees for the top mark until they Brady.

Brees accomplished the feat against the team most-notably guided team by Manning for more than a decade. Brees defeated Manning and the Indianapolis Colts in the Super Bowl 10 seasons ago in Miami, which ironically, is the site of this season's Super Bowl.

Drew Brees Hoping Family Doesn’t Just Get Him Football For Christmas AgainNEW ORLEANS—Worried that he would be forced to feign a smile and halfheartedly thank everyone, Saints quarterback Drew Brees told reporters Monday night he hopes his family doesn’t just get him a football for Christmas again. “I appreciate the thought, but nobody seems to realize that I have other interests beyond this one thing,” said the former NFL MVP, noting that his basement was already full of boxes and bags of unused footballs that people have given him but he can’t bring himself to throw away. “I don’t want to insult my wife or kids, but they need to realize this is just my job. I mean, I like football, but I’m so much more than that, and I wish they would take the time to dig a little deeper and get me some hunting gear or books about the Civil War. I’m sure I’ll still just have to grit my teeth as I’m unwrapping another goddamn football again.” At press time, an excited Brees was studying a tall, wrapped rectangular box in his living room containing a display case for all his footballs.

I met Brees years ago when he was a Charger.. still to this day that was the strongest handshake I've felt.. not funny but whatever A Cat scratching post would be nice
