Entering the game against the San Francisco 49ers, Peyton had 506 career touchdown passes, trailing Brett Favre by just two touchdown passes on the all-time list. It did not take long for Peyton to get into a groove against the injury depleted 49er defense. He was able to break the record before halftime! Sanders, Welker, and Thomas, were lucky enough to be the recipients of the touchdown passes on his memorable day.
Already with 509 touchdown passes and counting, it is still unclear of just how many he will have at the end of his illustrious record setting career. It does not look like he plans on retiring anytime soon, and the way he has been playing, why should he? This is not just a great moment for Peyton, but also for everyone luck enough to witness this moment. Who knows when their will be a time when another quarterback will have the opportunity to even come close to breaking his record. It requires someone really special to achieve his level of success and I am happy to have witnessed his greatness.
Even Brett Favre was quick to congratulate the man that dethroned him tweeting:
