New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has broken the record for the most touchdown passes in NFL history.
In the second quarter of the Patriots' match against Miami on Sunday, Brady found Julian Edelman for a 2-yard touchdown, the 580th of Brady's career (including playoffs). That surpasses the career mark set by Peyton Manning who remains the NFL's regular-season leader in touchdown passes with 539.
Brady's record includes touchdowns thrown in the regular season and post-season.

The teams swapped touchdowns and the lead for five consecutive possessions in the second quarter over an entertaining span covering less than 11 minutes.
Miami's fourth-string running back Brandon Bolden, who spent six years with the Patriots, scored untouched on a career-long 54-yard run up the middle and added a 6-yard scoring run.
In Green Bay, Aaron Rodgers broke Brady's NFL record of 358 consecutive passes without an interception, which Brady set during the 2010 and 2011 seasons.
