4 individual records that Tom Brady is chasing

Most passing yards in a season

Few individual seasons were as dominant as Peyton Manning’s in 2013 with the Denver Broncos and he holds the record for most passing yards in a single season. The oldest of the Manning managed 5 thousand 477 yards in that year and is one of the records that Tom Brady has in his sights.

Last season, that is, 2021, Tom Brady came close to that Peyton Manning record, but failed to tie or beat Manning. So, in this 2022, the GOAT will go in search of a new brand.

Most touchdown passes in a season

We say it again Peyton Manning had a near perfect season in 2013 and set the mark for most touchdown passes in a season with 55, but Tom Brady has come close to those numbers. In 2007, he had 50 touchdown passes, but in 2022 he could surpass the former Broncos QB.

QB rating in a season, Tom Brady’s most difficult challenge

Aaron Rodgers rules this department, because he not only has the highest rating for a QB in a season, but also the second best. 122.5 and 121.5 were the numbers the Packers quarterback achieved in 2011 and 2020, respectively.

Tom Brady will have the opportunity for one more season to surpass Aaron Rodgers in the QB rating and he’s been a bit behind in the numbers, with his best percentage being 117.2 in 2007.

Yards per game in a single season

In this category, there are two QBs sharing the first place and they are Drew Brees in 2011 and Peyton Manning in 2013, both managed 342.3 yards per game in one season. Tom Brady was close to tying them in 2011 as he had 327.2 yards and in 2021, it could be one of his goals.
