Tom Brady became third in NFL history in passing yards on Sunday. He could pass Peyton Manning soon. But in the age of football's passing boom, those numbers are becoming increasingly meaningless.

Tom Brady passed Brett Favre on the NFL’s career passing yards list Sunday, placing him only behind Peyton Manning and Drew Brees. It’s a testament to one of the best players ever, his unprecedented durability—Brady is 42 years old, you might have heard—and a career that has already produced six Super Bowl rings.

It’s also a testament to something far broader: the changing NFL is rendering the league’s record books meaningless.
