Manning had a good sense of humor about Brees breaking his all-time NFL passing record.
While they rarely met on the field, recording only four matchups during their 15 years in the NFL together, they set the standard for accurate and prolific quarterbacks who had total command of their offense. Brees emerged victorious in the most significant battle between the two—Super Bowl XLIV, in which Brees's New Orleans Saints beat Manning's Indianapolis Colts, 31-17.
"Drew, for 1,000 days I've held the record for all-time passing yards in the NFL. And I gotta tell you, it's been the greatest 1,000 days of my life. Thanks to you, that's over now and you've ruined that for me. So thank you very much. I have nothing left to look forward to except slicing my tomatoes, making dinner for my family, putting together this wedge salad.
