In a New Orleans Saints 34-7 blowout against the Colts, quarterback Drew Brees broke the all-time touchdown record previously held by Peyton Manning.

Brees threw four touchdowns in the game, which put him at 541 career touchdowns. Manning held the record at 539 touchdowns until last night when Brees surpassed him. He broke the record on a 5-yard touchdown pass to Josh Hill.

The Saints did not allow the Colts to score until the fourth quarter.

New Orleans now has a record of 11-3 with two games remaining left in the regular season, which gives Brees more opportunities to add more touchdowns to his record.
