passing — and he did it with a certain panache and precision that made the 39-year-old quarterback look far from finished.Brees eclipsed Peyton Manning's previous record of 71 New Orleans Saints Hats ,940 yards with a 62-yard touchdown pass to rookie Tre'Quan Smith during the second quarter of a 43-19 victory over the Washington Redskins on Monday night."Just so grateful for the opportunity to play this game and to have played it so long and to have the teammates that I have, and the New Orleans Saints organization, and this great city and this great fan base. It's just truly been a dream come true," Brees said. "I'll be able to reflect on it maybe a little bit more when my career is done. I still feel like there's work to be done."After the record-breaking completion, officials stopped the game and the game ball was handed over to Pro Football Hall of Fame officials on the sideline while the Superdome crowd offered a standing ovation. Brees removed his helmet, held out his arm to salute the crowd and hugged his wife, Brittany, and children on the sideline."I love you guys so much," Brees said while hugging his three boys as Brittany held their daughter nearby. "You can accomplish anything in life if you're willing to work for it."Brees entered the game needing 201 yards for the record. He had 250 by halftime. Brees, who already holds the single-season record for completion rate at 72 percent last season, finished the game a remarkable 26 of 29 for 363 yards, no interceptions and three touchdowns — two of them going to Smith, a third-round draft choice out of Central Florida has played just five NFL games and is now immortalized because of his role in Brees' record-breaking pass."Congrats on the achievement/milestone. Sheesh that's a lot of passing yards!!" LeBron James tweeted.In a victory at Atlanta earlier this season, Brees broke Brett Favre's career record of 6,300 completions. Brees still needs 41 touchdown passes to surpass Manning's record of 539, something the Saints quarterback could achieve next season if he maintains his current level of play. But Brees also would have to outpace New England's Tom Brady, who has 500 TD passes, the only active player with more than Brees in that category. Brees now has 499.Manning, a New Orleans native whose father, Archie, starred for the Saints, could not attend the game because of a scheduling conflict. However, he had pre-recorded a congratulatory message played on the Superdome's video boards. Shown on the video slicing tomatoes, Manning deadpanned that his time as the career yards passing leader have been "the greatest thousand days of my life.""Thanks to you New Orleans Saints Hoodie , that's over now," Manning continued as the laughter erupted in the stands. "You've ruined that for me.""Also, let this serve as the congratulations for the touchdown record because as you can see, I'm very busy," Manning added. "I don't have time to keep doing these videos for you."On a more serious note, Manning said Brees broke the record "the right way.""All your hard work and dedication have paid off," Manning said while holding up a photo of himself and Brees standing side-by-side in 2000, when Brees was still at Purdue and Manning was a third-year pro. "You and I have come a long way since this picture."Saints officials said Brees also would hand his uniform over to the Hall of Fame after the game.Brees is in his 18th season out of Purdue. The San Diego Chargers took the 6-foot Brees at the beginning of the second round of the 2001 draft, but allowed him to leave in free agency after a major throwing shoulder injury at the end of the 2005 season.The Saints, at coach Sean Payton's insistence, took a chance on Brees in 2006, and the payoff has been extraordinary. Brees has passed for more than 59,000 yards and more than 400 TDs in 12-plus seasons for New Orleans, smashing every meaningful Saints passing record while helping long-frustrated franchise win its first Super Bowl in 2010 and go to the playoffs six times.With the game in hand, Payton subbed Brees off the field after the two-minute warning so the quarterback could have one more interaction with the appreciative crowd."He deserves it. It's been an unbelievable run," Payton said. "It doesn't feel like it's been 13 years."In 2012, Brees also set the NFL record for consecutive games with a touchdown pass at 54. Brees surpassed Hall-of-Famer Johnny Unitas' streak of 47 straight — which had stood since 1960. Former Saints receiver Devery Henderson, who caught the pass on which Brees broke Unitas' mark, attended Monday night's game.The game featured other touches meant to honor Brees. In the press box, the Superdome catering staff served "beefy mac," a meal of macaroni with ground beef that has long been one of Brees' traditional meals on the night before games.Brees also was the final Saints player to run onto the field during pre-game introductions as fans belted out elongated howls of "Dreeeeeeew."NFL Picks Week 3: Hate Is A Four-Letter Word After two weeks, the New Orleans Saints find themselves with a 1-1 record, which may seem disappointing on the surface, but represents the best start the team has had over the first two weeks since 2013.The Saints started the season with two games at home but now hit the road to face their most hated rival Customized New Orleans Saints Jerseys , the Atlanta Falcons, in the Saints’ home away from home.No week gets Who Dat Nation’s blood pumping like “Falcons Hate Week” and the opportunity to take the Falcons down in their own house would be just what the team and the fans may need to kick this season into high gear.The Saints may be travelling to Atlanta for the first time this season on Sunday, but if everything breaks right this year, they’ll be back in February, so they should get used to the place.Last week I went 9-7I told you so: Chiefs over Steelers!What do I know: Eagles over Bucs?***WEEK 3Thursday, September 20th - Thursday Night FootballJets(1-1) at Browns(0-1-1)The stout Jets defense will take away Cleveland’s ability to run the ball, effectively taking away the one weapon they have.Cleveland’s woes continue into this week.Jets win 17-14.Pick: Jets***Sunday, September 23rd -

Game of the WeekNothing will come easy for the Saints in Atlanta this week, and they’ll need their defense to provide a consistancy they have struggled with so far.The biggest leaders on defense will need to come through in this one.Cam Jordan will need to get pressure, keeping Steve Sarkesian’s offense off balance.Another timely pick by Marcus Williams would be welcomed, and a huge interception or two by Marshon Lattimore would really kick things into overdrive.In fact, if Lattimore wanted to use his hands to pick off Matt Ryan this time, he could do it that way if he wanted to mix things up a little.The keys for success in this game are clear www.authenticsneworleanssaints.com , the Saints have to force a few turnovers here and take advantage of the opportunities those turnovers present.In the matchup of the NFC South’s most dominant receivers, Michael Thomas needs to be the bigger factor than Julio Jones.Thomas has been unbelievable early this season, but this is the week he can make believers out of the doubters.The X-Factor is Alvin Kamara.If Kamara can have more consistant success in running the ball and controling the clock than he’s had so far in Mark Ingram’s absence, it would give the Saints all the boost they may need.Although there are exceptions, Saints/Falcons is usually a tense, tight affair, as both teams know how important a win over the other is.It may make the difference in the division race, in playoff seeding, and potentially in homefield advantage, but just as important, there’s bragging rights.This will be another close game with a razor-thin margin for error.The Saints have been far from perfect this season, but like last year, this week is where they’ll start to hit their stride in the first quarter of the season.Saints win 31-30.Pick: Saints***Sunday, September 23rd - Late GamesChargers(1-1) at Rams(2-0)It’s the first regular season Battle of Los Angeles since these two franchises relocated a season ago.Both teams entered the season with serious aspirations and have done little to assuage those aspirations in the first few weeks.Even though this matchup should prove to be good between these future stadium-mates, the biggest thing to look for on Sunday is who the fans in attendance will be rooting for.Both teams have had the stadiums overrun by opposing fanbases since coming to LA a year ago.It could potentially be a lame atmosphere in the air for this one.Rams win 35-21.Pick: Rams***Cowboys(1-1) at Seahawks(0-2)Dallas will lean on Ezekiel Elliott to grind out a win in Seattle, while their defense make things difficult for Russell Wilson.Dallas wins 17-12.Pick: Cowboys***Bears(1-1) at Cardinals(0-2)Chicago will face little resistance from the NFL’s worst team in Arizona.Chicago’s defense will make Arizona’s terrible season even worse in this one.Chicago wins 27-3.Pick: Bears***Sunday Night FootballPatriots(1-1) at Lions(0-2)The big headline in this matchup is all about Detroit’s head coach Matt Patricia facing his former mentor, Bill Belichick, but the real story will be how quickly Tom Brady and newly acquired wide receiver, Josh Gordon get on the same page.New England will rebound from their Week 2 loss while Detroit continues their struggles.New England wins 38-17.Pick: Patriots***Monday, September 24th -
