Peyton Manning breaks Brett Favre's touchdown passing record

History was made last Sunday night in the NFL. Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning surpassed Brett Favre's record of 508 career touchdown passes. The record-breaking performance came at a perfect time in front of a home crowd against a competitive 49ers opponent.

 For Manning, breaking NFL records is nothing out of the ordinary. For example, last season he needed two touchdown passes to break the record of most touchdown passes in the regular season heading into a game against the Houston Texans. The record, previously held by Tom Brady was 50. Peyton Manning did what he does best and shattered the record and passed for an impressive five touchdowns and set the new record of 55. On October 19, 2014 history was made in a similar fashion. The Denver Broncos were hosting the San Francisco 49ers and Peyton Manning needed three touchdown passes to pass Brett Favre for most career passing touchdowns. Peyton had another solid performance in front of a home crowd and passed for four touchdowns. After Manning broke the record and got his 509th TD pass, his teammates jokingly played a game of monkey in the middle and kept the record setting ball away from the future Hall of Fame quarterback.
