This is a HUGE record!
Denver Broncos‘ quarterback Peyton Manning has now thrown more touchdowns than any other person in the history of football, after his performance on Sunday night.
The 38-year-old completed his 509th career scoring pass on an 8-yard pass to Demaryius Thomas, running up their lead to 21-3 before the half.
The record was previously held by Brett Favre, who took to Twitter saying:
Well deserved Peyton. Congratulations on breaking my record. #Onto600 http://t.co/MEeffAlmeP

And Peyton was his usual humble self, saying afterward:
“I’ve discussed with some family and friends recently that [I] certainly didn’t think this would even be a possibility a couple of years ago… I’m really enjoying playing here, playing for this organization.”
He’s referring to three years ago when he had spinal fusion surgery! Ouch!
And if you happen to be near the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, you can see Mr. Manning’s ball on display by 4pm EST.
Congrats Peyton! We’re looking forward to seeing you crush your own record weekly!
