PhotoBlog - Brees breaks Marino's mark in dramatic fashion
It was Brees' final pass of the game and it gave him 5,087 yards passing with one game still to play. Marino finished with 5,084 yards for the Miami Dolphins in 1984.
As Sproles spiked the ball, Brees put his arm over his head and started walking toward midfield while the Superdome crowd went wild and his teammates chased him down.
And what happens if Brees throws a screen pass that loses 5 yards on the first play of the game and then gets hurt? No record. Maybe he won't play next week at all.
Stats are bogus anyway because of the rules changes over the years.

Does the possibility of Drew Brees' single-season passing yardage record come into consideration at all with playing him?
"Not really. There are a lot of statistical little things that could be achieved or not achieved in this game, but not really. I think the focus is playing our best game against a team that we feel like is playing very well and is very hot and very difficult to defend. They're a team that's gotten better and better certainly since we played them last, which seems like such a long time ago. I think our focus is really on what we need to do to play our best football game and play these guys and finish the season on the right note."
