The Patriots are envisioned to briefly acknowledge Brady’s accomplishment. But what unfolds in Foxborough, Massachusetts on Sunday night time if Brady sets the NFL’s all-time passing mark will stand in stark distinction to how the New Orleans Saints addressed Drew Brees when he set the report.

Brady at present is at 80,291 passing yards, chasing the record that Brees retains with 80,358.
