Tom Brady Has Funny Twitter Response to Drew Brees Breaking All-Time Passing TD Record
Drew Brees made NFL history Monday night by passing Peyton Manning's all-time passing touchdown record.
He received a nice congratulatory tweet from Tom Brady, which must be put in the proper context.
Congrats drew!! Couldn’t be more deserving. Passing Peyton in anything is an incredible achievement and your records will be tough to beat! But it’s worth trying ?

Brady, of course, is showing some love for a fellow future Hall of Famer. Brees passed Manning's mark of 539 passing touchdowns. However, Brees didn't even enter the night in second place behind Peyton.
That spot belonged to Brady, who sits with 538 passing touchdowns. Safe to say, TB12 is coming for that record.
The close competition now means both Brady and Brees may be trading the top spot over the final two weeks of the season. That doesn't diminish what Brees has done, but his reign may not last long.
when it's 2049 and Tom Brady has 1037 career passing touchdowns and Drew Brees has 1038 and neither guy is willing to retire and let the other guy get the record pic.twitter.com/pBgwaZb1Xp

Both players have shown no signs of slowing down and the back and forth could continue during the 2020 season, should they wish to return next year.
Perhaps this record is what will drive both to run it back. That and tens of millions dollars.
