Drew Brees broke Dan Marino's record for passing yards in a single season last night, in a controversial fashion. To do so he needed 30 yards with the game already in hand with the Saints being up 38-16 with 5 minutes left. Brees went for it anyway, capping it off with a 9 yard pass to Darren Sproles to bring his passing yardage to 5,087 passing Marino's 5,084.
When it happened a few things ran through my mind. The first was cursing him for throwing the Marques Colston so many times last night and losing me my Fantasy championship. The second was to think how much I would hate to be a Charger fan and see Brees to Sproles for a TD and record for the next 6 months over and over again. Then finally I thought, wow that's impressive. Marino's record stood for 27 years, and after this season he won't even have the 2nd most with Tom Brady a little over 100 yards away from passing him too. Poor guy.
