Another week, another NFL record for Tom Brady.
The Patriots quarterback moved to third on the NFL's all-time passing yards list during Sunday's game against the Redskins after surpassing Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre (71,838).
Brady finished the day at 71,923.

Entering the matchup, Brady needed 264 yards to move to third place, and he did just that in the third quarter with a 15-yard completion to Julian Edelman.
With this pass to @Edelman11, @TomBrady moves into 3rd all-time in passing yards! #GoPats #NEvsWAS

Brady will pass Peyton Manning (71,940) for second in career yards in his next game, but he still has a ways to go before he catches Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who tops the list with 74,845 yards entering the day.
New England left Washington with a 33-7 win as Brady finished 28 of 42 for 348 yards and three touchdowns with one interception.
