With the flick of his wrist – well with 51 flicks of his wrist – Peyton Manning grabbed another piece of NFL history. He has thrown more TD passes in a single season than anyone ever, passing Tom Brady’s previous mark of 50 with four scoring throws Sunday, and Manning still has week 17 to add to his 51 TD passes.

We can debate where he falls on the Rushmore of all-time NFL quarterbacks – we think he’s on there – and we can debate the significance or importance of Manning’s record.
