Not only Did Drew Brees pass the
Saints to a 2011 NFC South Division
title in a Monday Night Football 45-16
win over the Atlanta Falcons on Dec.
26, 2011, but he set a new NFL
passing record as well.
The Saints QB entered the team's 15th
game of the season ust 305 passing
yards away from breaking Dan Marino’
s single-season passing record of
5,084 passing yards. Brees
accomplished the feat with his final
pass of the Saints victory over the
Falcons. The record-setting play took
place when Brees threw a 9-yard
touchdown to pass to running back
Darren Sproles. The gain officially put
him passed Miami Dolphins’ legend Dan
Marino for the single-season passing
record by just two yards.
