Tom Brady has just made even more NFL history.
As the 42-year-old quarterback continues to re-write the NFL record book, he just tied Peyton Manning for second all time in touchdown passes with 539th TD pass on an 8-yard touchdown pass to Matt LaCosse versus the Buffalo Bills.

Brady has struggled throughout the 2019 season, but he came out firing in this pivotal game for the Patriots. He has started out 7-of-7 for 61 yards and a touchdown.
Speaking of the all-time touchdown record, Brady's active rival, the New Orleans Saints' Drew Brees, shattered the all-time record previously held by Manning as recently as last Monday when he completed his 541th touchdown pass.
In classic Brady fashion, he congratulated Brees — but he made sure to mention that he'll still try to break Brees' TD record. As of right now, he's two touchdown passes behind — still a realistic goal by the end of today's game against the Bills.
