Tom Brady added another historic feat to his legendary resume Sunday.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback threw four touchdowns in a 45-20 blowout win against the Las Vegas Raiders to become the NFL's new all-time leader in passing touchdowns.

Brady broke the record previously held by Drew Brees on a fourth-quarter toss to Tyler Johnson. His career total now stands at 559.

Brady, 43, entered Week 7 sitting one touchdown behind Brees, who threw two scores in an earlier win over the Carolina Panthers to push his career mark to 558.

The two future Hall of Famers - who are set to face off for a second time this season in Week 9 - will likely go back and forth for the record for the rest of the campaign.

Brees broke the all-time mark formerly owned by Peyton Manning last year, but Brady quickly made up ground this season; he's tossed 18 touchdowns in 2020 to Brees' 11.
