Tom Brady breaks Peyton Manning's record for most career playoff passing yards

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady reached another milestone during Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Indianapolis Colts. 

Brady broke Peyton Manning's record for most career playoff passing yards, surpassing Manning's mark of 6,800 during the first quarter of Sunday's contest. 

The Patriots' quarterback could set a number of records Sunday. If New England advances past Indianapolis, Brady would set the record for most career quarterback starts (6) in the Super Bowl, passing Denver Broncos legend John Elway. 

Brady would also make a record-tying sixth appearance in the Super Bowl, should the Patriots advance.
