"Tom Brady's on a mission to break every record I have" - Peyton Manning jokes Buccaneers QB coming for one record he still owns

Tom Brady is in his 23rd season in the NFL and his third with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He owns almost every NFL record that a quarterback could ever own in his career, except for one held by Peyton Manning.

Manning holds the record for most touchdown passes in a season after throwing 55 touchdown passes in the 2013 season with the Denver Broncos. Unsurprisingly, he won his fifth MVP as well.

On the Games with Names podcast, Manning said that the seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback is out to get every record he has. This includes surpassing his 55 touchdowns in a season:

"55 touchdowns in a 16 game season, right? I mean, they've gone to 17 games. They still haven't got it. I'm sure it's going down. Brady's on a mission to break every record that I have. Right? I mean, he will. He wants to break that 55."

Manning added that the Tampa Bay quarterback has more retirements than him as well:

"Mahomes, I'm sure, is going to get there at some point, too. So most of my records have fallen. That's one that's kind of been around for a little while. I mean, to tell you how competitive Brady is now, he goes out and he gets more retirements than me, right?"

Tom Brady owns the record for the most passing touchdowns (624) and passing yards (84,520) in NFL history. Manning is third all-time in both categories (71,940 yards and 539 TDs). The most touchdowns thrown in a season by Brady is 50, this was as a member of the New England Patriots in 2017.

Both quarterbacks have faced each other on 17 occasions in their careers and the pair had one of the best rivalries in NFL history.
